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 ...

Scientists from the University of Tokyo have found a groundbreaking new approach to synthesize diamonds that offers ...

Imagine building a Lego tower with perfectly aligned blocks. Each block represents an atom in a tiny crystal, known as a quantum dot. Just like bumping the tower can shift the blocks and change its ...

Karlsruhe Institute of Technology researcher Gabriely Falcão (foreground) uses an arc-melting machine to forge a ...

A University of Tokyo team has turned organic molecules into nanodiamonds using electron beams, overturning decades of assumptions about beam damage. Their discovery could transform materials science ...

Chinese scientists have successfully developed a high-quality “super diamond” in the laboratory, exhibiting a hardness far greater than natural diamonds. This breakthrough holds significant industrial ...

Breakthrough allows researchers to create materials with tailored properties, unlocking unprecedented control over their optical and electronic properties. (Nanowerk News) Imagine building a Lego ...

Prediction of crystal structures of organic molecules is a critical task in many industries, especially in pharmaceuticals ...

Although the optically transparent single-crystal ZrO 2 form has a very high thermal shock resistance, it also has poor fracture toughness and strength. Zirconia is well-known among ceramics for being ...
