superhard materials

Russian scientists have designed a new model for fullerene-based crystal materials with extremely high mechanical stiffness, more than diamond.

It's been 15 years since scientists invented graphene, a super-light carbon sheet that is said to be the hardest material on the planet. And recently, they've got a new invention

US researchers have developed a super-hard steel that shields meteorite satellites or drills through the strongest layers of rock.

In the past, scientists have successfully fabricated metamaterials heavier than air three times as hard as steel, known as aerogels.
