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

Researchers named it lonsdaleite, after crystallographer Kathleen Lonsdale, but for decades, no one was sure it truly existed. For 60 years, the material had only been reported in meteorite impact ...

Like many of you, we’ve been watching the horrifying developments in the Middle East. As the war with Iran causes violence to spread around the region, nobody knows how long this conflict will last.

Researchers made small, pure samples of the elusive mineral lonsdaleite – also known as hexagonal diamond — and tested its ...

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

Diamond cooling technology aims to reduce heat and energy pressure in AI data centers, giving operators more compute capacity from existing infrastructure.

Most materials, especially metals and ceramics, are crystals. Their atoms are arranged in three-dimensional lattices that repeat the same exact pattern, over and over again. But there's a well-known ...

A twisted pair of photonic crystals integrated with MEMS can dynamically control the handedness of light on a chip.
