Rare diamonds found in meteorites called ureilites have a folded hexagonal structure. Learning the process of how they were formed could inspire better lab-grown diamonds.

Samsung’s new Galaxy Z Fold 7 and Z Flip 7 may be cutting-edge tech — but Russian luxury brand Caviar wants to elevate them ...

Australian scientists have discovered strangely folded diamonds in rare meteorite samples. In investigating how they came to form, the team found evidence that they were forged in a cataclysm on ...

Diamonds found in four meteorites in north-west Africa probably came from an ancient dwarf planet, and they are expected to be harder than Earth diamonds ...

The stone, called lonsdaleite, has a hardness and strength that exceeds that of a regular diamond. The rare mineral arrived here by way of a meteorite, new research has suggested.

The diamonds’ unusual crystal structure may make them harder than ordinary diamonds.

Here’s how it works. A Diablo Canyon meteorite fell to Earth around 50,000 years ago and was first discovered in 1891. New research suggests it contains never-before-seen diamond crystal structures.

A 54-pound chunk of Mars-believed to be the largest Martian meteorite ever discovered on Earth-is hitting the auction block ...

Scientists have found a mineral stronger than diamond. They say lonsdaleite could be used to fortify industrial tools like drill bits and saw blades - AND teach us about the evolution of earth.

An unusual folded shape in a meteorite prompted scientists to dive deep into a rabbit hole – discovering a potential new way to make specially shaped diamonds in the lab.
