Researchers have synthesized millimetre-scale hexagonal diamond, a crystal structure so elusive that many physicists doubted ...
The graphite found in your favorite pencil could have instead been the diamond your mother always wears. What made the difference? Researchers are finding out. How molten carbon crystallizes into ...
A Chinese research team has produced bulk hexagonal diamond, a crystal structure long theorized to be harder than ...
Molten carbon can crystallize into diamond or graphite, but it has been difficult to study this process. New simulations show that graphite can sometimes "hijack" the pathway that would lead to ...
