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.

Lucknow: Nobel prize-winning physicist Konstantin Sergeevich Novoselov inspired students with his thoughts on curiosity, determination, and scientific.

Researchers have produced nearly pure hexagonal diamond, a material long theorized to be harder than conventional diamond, by ...

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 at UNSW have discovered a new way to make graphene, a remarkable "wonder material," using just discarded peanut ...

Abstract: This article presents the development of the multimodal transfer matrix method (MMTMM) to deal with periodic structures with hexagonal unit cells and higher symmetries. The method can ...

Boron nitride is a crystalline material made of boron and nitrogen atoms arranged in a hexagonal lattice, giving it a two-dimensional structure that closely resembles graphene but with distinct ...

Typical idiomorphism of single crystal gemstones, such as hexagonal prismatic emeralds, octahedral diamonds, and rhombic dodecahedral garnets, is the thermodynamic equilibrium shape in which the sum ...
