Chinese scientists have developed a new type of diamond that is significantly tougher than traditional diamonds, overcoming their inherent brittleness. By incorporating multi-walled carbon nanotubes into an internal support structure, the material's toughness has been increased sixfold without compromising its hardness. This breakthrough, detailed in Nature Synthesis, results in a material even more resilient than the alloys used in armor-piercing ammunition. AI
