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 ...

Here is why gallium nitride (GaN) is the natural successor to silicon MOSFETs in the 100–650 V class of power devices.

Scientists from China have claimed they might have found a mineral that is harder than the cubic diamond, which is known to the world as the hardest e.

Most solid materials we rely on, from steel, to plastics and ceramics, are designed to have specific properties. Whether a material is soft and flexible, or stiff and tough depends on how molecules ...

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

The large language model automates literature search, synthesis, and structural analysis to speed up materials discovery and ...

Abstract: In this work, we present a multimodal transfer matrix method for obtaining the eigensolutions in the complete irreducible Brillouin zone for hexagonal lattices. The method is compared in ...

Engineers have discovered an unexpected link between two very different realms of physics: the behavior of electrons in ...

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 ...
