High-pressure experiments generated the first direct observation of plastic ice, which has qualities of both crystalline ice and liquid water.

Chinese scientists make ‘super diamond’ 40% harder than real thing - Material may find applications in machining, drilling, ...

For the first time, researchers in China have synthetically produced a nearly pure hexagonal diamond, marking a significant ...

Silicon has the diamond cubic crystal structure with a lattice parameter of 0.543 nm. The nearest neighbor distance is 0.235 nm. The diamond cubic crystal structure has an fcc lattice with a basis of ...

The crystal has a lattice parameter of 0.541 nm. The crystal structure is also known as diamond cubic and may be thought of as two interpenetrating fcc lattices, one for sulphur the other for zinc, ...
