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 ...

Physicists have successfully created a lab-grown diamond with a hardness exceeding that of natural diamonds. By subjecting ...

A harder form of diamond that has eluded scientists for decades can now be synthesised in the laboratory, and could be used to make extremely tough cutting and drilling tools. Diamonds as we know them ...

(Nanowerk News) A new study by Washington State University researchers answers longstanding questions about the formation of a rare type of diamond during major meteorite strikes. Hexagonal diamond or ...

Scientists have detected the presence of a rare "folded diamond" that arrived on Earth from outer space via an asteroid. The material found is known as lonsdaleite, and like a diamond, it's made out ...

ANU Associate Professor Jodie Bradby said her team – including ANU PhD student Thomas Shiell and experts from RMIT, the University of Sydney and the United States – made nano-sized Lonsdaleite, which ...

In 1967, a hexagonal form of diamond, later named lonsdaleite, was identified for the first time inside fragments of the Canyon Diablo meteorite, the asteroid that created the Barringer Crater in ...

Researchers have succeeded in creating a rare type of diamond, known as lonsdaleite or hexagonal diamond. This material, whose hardness could surpass that of conventional diamonds, opens new ...
