Synthetic diamond with hexagonal forged excludes the natural type with unprecedented hardness



A team of physicists, material scientists and engineers associated with several institutions in China, working with a colleague of Umeh University in Sweden, has increased a diamond that is harder than people found in nature. His project, reported in the Nature Material Journal, developed a process that includes heating and compressed graphite to make synthetic diamonds.
