A team of researchers has reported the first laboratory synthesis and recovery of bulk hexagonal diamond, a crystal form long predicted to be harder than the conventional gems used in cutting tools ...

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

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

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 ...

A recent article in Scientific Reports detailed the characterization of disordered structures in graphene and monolayer hexagonal boron nitride (hBN) induced by low-energy argon ion irradiation. The ...

Mysterious hexagonal diamonds that don’t occur naturally on Earth have been discovered in four meteorites in north-west Africa. “It’s really exciting because there were some people in the field who ...
