Chinese scientists have created a ‘super diamond’ 40% harder and far more durable than natural ones. Experts say the creation could lead to breakthroughs across several key industries that rely on diamonds,

The price of a ring-size single-carat stone has fallen by 37 per cent. To survive, luxury jewellers will have to persuade their clientele that a natural diamond is still worth the outlay.

Chinese scientists have synthesized a "super diamond" that is 40 percent harder than natural diamonds and exhibits high thermal stability, a breakthrough that could enhance the performance of semiconductor materials in the future.

Researchers from two higher-education institutions in China created a super rare high-quality diamond in the lab.

A group of scientists from two universities in China have created an ultra-hard, high-quality ‘super diamond’ in the lab that is many times stronger than naturally occurring diamonds. The team responsible for the breakthrough believes their creation could have applications in key sectors,

Scientists have struggled to recreate lonsdaleite in the laboratory but now, a team of Chinese researchers have engineered a way to synthesise “well-crystallised, nearly pure” hexagonal diamonds from graphite.
