An international research team has produced a bulk, millimeter-scale hexagonal diamond in the laboratory, a crystal variant ...

Diamond is well-known for being the hardest natural material on Earth, though synthetic forms have been developed that are even tougher – a feat that researchers have managed again, through a new ...

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

A collaborative group of researchers has potentially developed a means of controlling spin waves by creating a hexagonal pattern of copper disks on a magnetic insulator. The breakthrough is expected ...

In brief: Chinese researchers have developed a synthetic diamond that is significantly harder and more resilient than those that occur naturally here on Earth. If commercially viable, the new diamond ...

Graphene is the most prominent member of the 2D materials family: just a single atom in thickness, it is a sheet of covalently bonded carbon atoms in a hexagonal lattice. This novel nanomaterial is ...

An illustration of the two-dimensional magnonic crystal developed in this study, viewed from an oblique angle. Copper disks are periodically arranged on a magnetic garnet film. A collaborative group ...
