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

Scientists create first-of-its-kind ‘hexagonal diamond’ harder than real thing - Material exhibits slightly higher hardness than naturally found diamond ...

A research team led by Sun Jian at Nanjing University has produced recoverable, millimeter-sized crystals of hexagonal diamond, a rare carbon polymorph that prior theoretical work has suggested could ...

“These findings resolve the long-standing controversy on the existence of hexagonal diamond,” researchers said.

Scientists created a pure hexagonal diamond in the lab, confirming a long-debated carbon structure slightly harder than natural diamonds.

(Nanowerk News) A new study by Washington State University researchers answers longstanding questions about the formation of a rare type of diamond during major meteorite strikes. Hexagonal diamond or ...
