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

Researchers made small, pure samples of the elusive mineral lonsdaleite – also known as hexagonal diamond — and tested its ...

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

Researchers have synthesized millimetre-scale hexagonal diamond, a crystal structure so elusive that many physicists doubted ...

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 ...
