I want you to type, and type, and type here... add as much information as comes to mind... formulas, links... whatever helps make the story more convincing... This is the Age of Wikipedia, after all...

This beat-up car certainly does not look nearly as pretty as the "girl's best friend" - the diamond. Under the microscope, however, they both look very similar: both the diamond and the iron are simple crystals: neat periodic arrays of atoms
