Material made of carbon and nitrogen is nearly as hard as diamond

This carbon nitride is almost as hard as diamond Dominique Laniel et al. An elusive material that scientists have wanted to make for decades has finally been synthesised under tremendous heat and pressure – and it is nearly as hard as diamond. It could potentially be used in cutting tools, sensors and even as an…
