Abstract
What connects the author Marcel Proust, the Chemistry Nobel Laureate Henri Moissan, and the fraudulent engineer Henri François Lemoine? Moissan was obsessed with the idea of preparing artificial diamonds, Lemoine alleged that he had improved the Moissan technique, which only produced diamond dust, and Proust first invested a part of his wealth in the alleged diamond synthesis and then exploited the scandal in a literary work.
