Researchers have succeeded in creating a rare type of diamond, known as lonsdaleite or hexagonal diamond. This material, ...

Scientists have created the first sizable sample of hexagonal meteorite diamond which is predicted to be harder than conventional diamonds.

Meteorite diamonds, which could be 58% harder than ordinary diamonds, have finally been made in the lab. Scientists have ...

Scientists have attempted to emulate similar explosive and high-pressure conditions in laboratories to produce artificial lonsdaleite but most samples are too small and often impure, making it ...

Watch the BAEKHYUN: LONSDALEITE [DOT] IN CINEMAS Trailer. Starting in Seoul in March 2024 and spanning 13 cities across Asia, the tour ended with a ...

First identified in 1967, lonsdaleite is the hardest naturally-occuring mineral ever discovered—yes, it’s even harder than diamonds. Lonsdaleite, however, has only been found in meteorites ...

Chinese scientists developed Super Diamond (Lonsdaleite), 40% harder than natural diamonds, revolutionizing cutting tools, aerospace, and semiconductors, and advancing material science significantly.

Currently, lonsdaleite synthesis remains in the experimental stage, and further research is needed to transition from laboratory production to large-scale manufacturing, Yao said.

"Super Diamond": World's Hardest Material Synthesized In Chinese Laboratory The "super diamonds" are around 58 percent harder than normal diamonds, and have other intriguing properties.

Most natural and synthetic diamonds feature a cubic lattice structure but there are rare exceptions. Lonsdaleite, for example, is a type of diamond that was first discovered ...

Chinese scientists have created a 'super diamond' that is 40% harder than natural ones and could be groundbreaking for their industrial use.
