In their ongoing efforts to push the boundaries of quantum possibilities, physicists in Arts & Sciences at Washington ...

Physicists have successfully created a lab-grown diamond with a hardness exceeding that of natural diamonds. By subjecting graphite to extreme pressure and heat, researchers synthesized a rare ...

Through this approach, more open, but still stable, crystal structures can be obtained. Indeed, diamond colloidal crystals have been demonstrated 10, however, as a micromanipulator was used to ...

The crystal has a lattice parameter of 0.541 nm. The crystal structure is also known as diamond cubic and may be thought of as two interpenetrating fcc lattices, one for sulphur the other for zinc, ...

A super diamond refers to an ultra-hard diamond with a hexagonal crystal structure, scientifically known as lonsdaleite. It is significantly 40% harder than natural diamonds, which typically have ...

Germanium has the diamond cubic crystal structure shown, an fcc lattice with a basis of two germanium atoms, one at (0,0,0) and the other at (1/4, 1/4, 1/4) in units of the cube edge. It can also be ...

have a hexagonal crystal structure. Previously, the hardest diamonds were found only in impact craters, making them very rare and small. The first ultra-hard diamond was found in the Canyon Diablo ...
