The diamond was around 0.04 inches in size and exhibited more sturdiness and resistance compared to typical cubic diamonds.

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

Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) are cylindrical nanostructures formed by rolling a single layer of graphene into a seamless tube. The graphene sheet consists of carbon atoms arranged in a hexagonal lattice, ...
