University of Edinburgh scientists have produced a near-unbreakable substance, carbon nitride, offering vast potential for industrial applications such as solar panels, protective coatings, and cutting tools.
Scientists have solved a decades-long puzzle and unveiled a near unbreakable substance that could rival diamond, as the hardest material on earth, a study says. Researchers found that when carbon and nitrogen precursors were subjected to extreme heat and pressure, the resulting materials – known
Edinburgh UK (SPX) Dec 18, 2023 -
Scientists from the University of Edinburgh, in collaboration with their counterparts from Germany and Sweden, have unveiled a groundbreaking discovery in the field of materials science. Their resea
It’s taken more than three decades, but scientists have cracked the code and created a material that’s near-impossible to break and rivals diamond as the hardest substance on the planet. The applications for this long-sought-after substance are vast.
Diamond is considered to be the hardest material in existence, only being able to be scratched by other diamonds. Now, scientists report a new breakthrough – a super-incompressible material that could rival diamond on the hardness scale.
