In chemistry, structure is everything. Compounds with the same chemical formula can have different properties depending on the arrangement of the molecules they’re made of. And compounds with a ...
(Phys.org)—Virtually all semiconductors used in today's electronic devices are made of silicon having a cubic crystal structure, as silicon naturally crystallizes in the cubic form. In a new study, ...
Hexagonal boron nitride has a layered crystalline structure in a hexagonal lattice arrangement composed of alternating boron and nitrogen atoms held together by strong covalent bonds. This structure ...
Through high pressure processing techniques performed in a symmetric diamond anvil cell, a group of researchers from the Department of Geological Sciences at Stanford University have successfully ...
ANU Associate Professor Jodie Bradby said her team – including ANU PhD student Thomas Shiell and experts from RMIT, the University of Sydney and the United States – made nano-sized Lonsdaleite, which ...

Scientists have finally made an elusive meteorite diamond, predicted to be 50% harder than Earth diamonds
Scientists have created the first sizable meteorite diamond — also known as lonsdaleite or hexagonal diamond — a material predicted to be even harder than the diamonds normally found on Earth. The ...
Cubic core: what is the crystal structure of iron at the centre of the Earth? (Courtesy: shutterstock/Johan Swanepoel) A long-standing debate about the structure of solid iron at the centre of the ...
Researchers have succeeded in creating a rare type of diamond, known as lonsdaleite or hexagonal diamond. This material, whose hardness could surpass that of conventional diamonds, opens new ...
