Scientists Finally Create Lonsdaleite, A Hexagonal Diamond That’s Harder Than Any Substance Known To Man
Pop quiz: what is the world’s hardest material? Answer: it’s diamond, of course. Thanks to the crystal structure of diamonds, with carbon atoms arranged into a lattice-like structure, diamond is top ...
In brief: Chinese researchers have developed a synthetic diamond that is significantly harder and more resilient than those that occur naturally here on Earth. If commercially viable, the new diamond ...
Molten carbon can crystallize into diamond or graphite, but it has been difficult to study this process. New simulations show that graphite can sometimes "hijack" the pathway that would lead to ...
