Physicists have successfully created a lab-grown diamond with a hardness exceeding that of natural diamonds. By subjecting ...

The resulting diamond has a hexagonal lattice crystal structure, rather than the normal cubic structure. Hexagonal diamond (or lonsdaleite) was first brought to the attention of scientists more than ...

Hexagonal close packing is one of two crystal structures that derive from stacking close-packed-planes of hard sphere atoms. In the HCP structure only two stacking ...

Watch the 'HexChess Challenge' Gameplay Trailer for Crystal of Atlan, a magic punk MMO action RPG developed by Nuverse. Players can soon access a global beta test to face Bishop Ophelia’s ...

It melts at 3727 C. The stable form of carbon at room temperature is Graphite which has a hexagonal crystal structure. (Top diagram) Diamond is metastable at room temperature and has a diamond cubic ...

Natural diamonds mostly have a cubic lattice – or arrangement of their carbon atoms – but a hexagonal crystal structure is known to provide a much stronger material. However, researchers say, the ...
