LIVERMORE, California, March 19 (TNSres) -- The U.S. Department of Energy's Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory issued the following news:
Diamond is the strongest material known. However, another form of carbon has been predicted to be even tougher than diamond. The challenge is how to create it on Earth.
The eight-atom body-centered cubic (BC8) crystal is a distinct carbon phase: not diamond, but very similar. BC8 is predicted to be a stronger material, exhibiting . . .
