Researchers finally managed to create carbon nitrides in a lab setting, with some help from a trio of particle accelerators.
Researchers discovered that compounds known as carbon nitrides are more resilient than cubic boron nitride, which is the second hardest substance after diamond.
Whose Creators They Failed to Credit
An international team of scientists looked at carbon nitrides.
An international team led by researchers from the University of Edinburgh’s Centre for Science at Extreme Conditions has unveiled a near unbreakable substance that could rival diamond as the hardest material on earth.
