A team of researchers has reported the first laboratory synthesis and recovery of bulk hexagonal diamond, a crystal form long predicted to be harder than the conventional gems used in cutting tools ...

These LUAR SS25 bag studies are created with graphite pencil on smooth heavyweight cartridge paper, capturing the form, structure, and design details of the collection. The sketches highlight the ...

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

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 ...

Researchers from Nanyang Technological University, Singapore (NTU Singapore) have found a new way to produce X-rays with wavelengths in what is called the "water window." This new method holds promise ...

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

Chun, B. and Lee, M.-H. (2026) Graphene-Inspired Films: Capturing Nanoplastics and Blocking Their Path to Crops. Journal of Environmental Protection, 17, 143-157. doi: 10.4236/jep.2026.173007 .

A pulsed thermal shock technique produces micron-thick flexible graphite films ten times faster than conventional methods without sacrificing crystalline quality or thermal performance.

Graphite is a crystalline allotrope of carbon characterized by a layered structure in which carbon atoms are arranged in hexagonal sheets of sp²-hybridized networks, with strong covalent bonds within ...
