Later, in 1939, these hard particles were confirmed to be a mixture of diamonds, graphite, and a new substance that had never been seen before, now called lonsdaleite after crystallographer ...

The graphite-diamond phase transition is of particular interest for fundamental reasons and a wide range of applications. In new experiments, Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL ...

Diamond is famously the hardest known natural material, and as such it isn’t exactly known for its flexibility. That’s why scientists on the new study were surprised to find diamonds with ...

Chinese scientists have synthesized a "super diamond "that is 40 percent harder than natural diamonds and exhibits high thermal stability, ... 'Super diamond' from graphite created.

By comparing the diamond, graphite and lonsdaleite across 18 different ureilite meteorites, we started to form a picture of what probably happened to produce the folded structures we found.

Later, in 1939, these hard particles were confirmed to be a mixture of diamonds, graphite, and a new substance that had never been seen before, now called lonsdaleite after crystallographer ...
