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 ...

“These findings resolve the long-standing controversy on the existence of hexagonal diamond,” researchers said.

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

After decades of chasing after a rare hexagonal diamond, a Chinese team says their iteration of the elusive material is the ...

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

An international research team has produced a bulk, millimeter-scale hexagonal diamond in the laboratory, a crystal variant long theorized to rival or exceed the hardness of the cubic diamonds found ...

A team of Chinese scientists may have cracked the secret behind the strange Canyon Diablo diamonds. Hexagonal in form rather than cubic, the process behind how these diamonds formed has, until now, ...

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 ...

After decades of debates over the existence and properties of one of the world’s ...
