The HS-I, CS-I, and CS-II structures of hydrate correspond to the Z, A15, and C15 phases of the Frank-Kasper phase, respectively. With the discovery of HS-I, the primitive structures at the three ...

Scientists uncovered rare hexagonal silicon forms (2H, 4H, 6H) created by stress and heat, challenging assumptions about this key electronic material. This is not the first time hexagonal silicon has ...

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 ...

Hexagonal structures are very strong and commonly used in building multiple products in a wide range of industries. For example, hexagonal structures are used to construct airplane wings, boats, cars, ...

Unusual variant has previously been confirmed only within the cosmic debris that hit Arizona's Canyon Diablo 49,000 years ago Researchers in China say they have recreated the elusive "meteorite ...

In a major scientific milestone, Chinese researchers have successfully synthesised a rare form of diamond found naturally only in meteorites, the hexagonal diamond, marking a leap forward in the quest ...
