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 ...

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 ...

Researchers have succeeded in creating a rare type of diamond, known as lonsdaleite or hexagonal diamond. This material, whose hardness could surpass that of conventional diamonds, opens new ...

Scientists have used a mix of physical and chemical properties to bend salt into hexagonal crystals for the first time ever. They formed the thin layer of crystalline salt on a substrate (foundation ...
