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 ...
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, ...
The synthetic hexagonal diamond exhibits high thermal stability up to 1,100°C and a hardness of 155 GPa, promising advancements in aerospace and defense industries. Chinese scientists synthesized an ...
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 ...
Graphite squeezed between two diamond jaws at pressures of 170,000 atmospheres managed to produce a crack in the diamond. A team modelled various crystal structures that could result when graphite is ...
Alfa Chemistry, one of the market leaders in materials science, continues to add industry presence with the growth of its syndiamond portfolio. Recently in a strategic move, the company introduced ...
