Certain carbon nitride compounds are predicted to rival or surpass diamond in terms of hardness, but attempts to experimentally synthesize these compounds in the past 30 years have failed. Now, in a recent groundbreaking study, researchers report successful synthesis of four covalent carbon nitrides that can all be recovered at ambient conditions.
