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

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 ...

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 ...
