This magical substance is called "organic semiconductor carbon nitride", which is harder than the cubic boron nitride second only to diamonds. The research team used a method similar to the natural formation of diamonds - high pressure and high temperature simultaneous action - to synthesise this "new diamond".
Scientists are very optimistic about its future application prospects and believe that the possibilities are almost unlimited. In addition to being sprayed on the surface of the spacecraft as a protective layer, it may also become a new material for automobile manufacturing. Although you may not wear the "New King Kong" ring, it is likely to appear in drilling equipment, solar panel protective layer and other fields to replace traditional diamonds.
This research took more than 30 years, but the breakthrough it brought was of great significance. Scientists believe that it will pave the way for the synthesis of more super tough substances and open up a new field of material science.
