Researchers made small, pure samples of the elusive mineral lonsdaleite – also known as hexagonal diamond — and tested its ...

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

“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 ...

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 ...

The diamond was around 0.04 inches in size and exhibited more sturdiness and resistance compared to typical cubic diamonds.

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 ...
