Diamonds are famous for their strength, but scientists have long suspected that another form of diamond might be even harder. Evidence of this was gathered over the past sixty years in meteorite ...

An international research team has produced a bulk, millimeter-scale hexagonal diamond in the laboratory, a crystal variant ...

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

A team of Chinese scientists may have cracked the secret behind the strange Canyon Diablo diamonds. Hexagonal in form rather than cubic, the process behind how these diamonds formed has, until now, ...

After decades of debates over the existence and properties of one of the world’s ...

After decades of debate, researchers say that they have found the clearest evidence yet for this rare form of carbon.

New research indicates that a rare form of diamond may originate in the burbling cores of distant worlds, arriving on Earth thanks to violent cosmic collisions. According to a team of scientists in ...

Ever since Curie conjectured on "the symmetry in physical phenomena, symmetry of an electric field and a magnetic field", it has long been a dream for material scientists to search for this rather ...
