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.
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, ...

Scientists have finally made an elusive meteorite diamond, predicted to be 50% harder than Earth diamonds
Scientists have created the first sizable meteorite diamond — also known as lonsdaleite or hexagonal diamond — a material predicted to be even harder than the diamonds normally found on Earth. The ...
A mystery that puzzled scientists for more than half a century may finally have an answer. The strange crystals hidden in a famous Arizona meteorite have now been recreated in a lab, and they could ...
Skoltech and MIPT scientists have predicted and then experimentally confirmed the existence of exotic hexagonal thin films of NaCl on a diamond surface. These films may be useful as gate dielectrics ...
Carbon is in group IV A of the periodic table with atomic number 6, an atomic weight of 12.011, and a density of 2.26. It melts at 3727 C. The stable form of carbon at room temperature is Graphite ...
