Another step toward a diamond-beater

Article Abstract:

Yip-Wah Chen has created a material that may contain a crystalline form of carbon nitride computer models predicted would be harder than diamond. A titanium nitride lattice of the desired structure coaxed the carbon nitride into the unnatural form. The composite coating is almost as hard as diamond.
