New Scientist Breaking News - Nano-material is harder than diamonds: "A material that is harder than diamond has been created in the lab, by packing together tiny 'nanorods' of carbon.
The new material, known as aggregated carbon nanorods (ACNR), was created by compressing and heating super-strong carbon molecules called buckyballs or carbon-60. These molecules consist of 60 atoms that interlock in hexagonal or pentagonal shapes and resemble tiny soccer balls."
