To synthesize the crystals, the team compressed highly ordered pyrolytic graphite to pressures as high as 20 gigapascals, ...

After decades of chasing after a rare hexagonal diamond, a Chinese team says their iteration of the elusive material is the most important yet.

A Chinese research team has produced bulk hexagonal diamond, a crystal structure long theorized to be harder than ...

Diamonds are famous for their strength, but scientists have long suspected that another form of diamond might be even harder.

Molten carbon can form into either diamond or graphite. A new study shows how graphite can sometimes form even under conditions that should lead to diamond. (Getty Images) The graphite found in your ...

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 ...
