The new Nature paper: “Bulk hexagonal diamond”

26:01that requires a lot of fundamental physics at the end of the day. And so in 2024 we're at this interesting state, right? The theory says lonsdaleite should be real. The experiment says, "Nah." This is where we get into this paper. Bulk hexagonal diamond. Great name. >> Three word I haven't seen a shorter nature paper title to be honest. >> Well done. >> Right? Bulk hexagonal diamond. That's it. >> That's it. >> That's it. >> No no no narrating, no just >> Just this is what we this is what it is. Right? >> It's quite nice. >> It's quite nice. It's a it's a macroscopic pure sample that they've

26:42created. >> Okay. >> Um they're showing that it's not an artifact and let's get into how exactly they did it. >> Yes. >> All right. >> And before we do >> Yes. >> I'm going to do some brief show notes. So, if you are listening to this and you were a listener on episode 5 when we talked about the other group of Chinese teams that did the story, you're this is going to be very exciting because all of the stuff we do here, much like science and science research itself, builds on top of each other. The Nobel Prize aspect, all of these people, all these people and aspects that we really try to weave together is the joy that we get of doing this show, and you as the

27:22supporting community and audience are a huge part of why we're able to do that. So, a simple like, share, follow, comment, you would not believe how much comments change how much our video gets shown to other people. Let's talk more about science, experimental design, breaking science research, and any way that you can engage in our content is super, super helpful for us getting this show to more people.

And with that, let's get back to to the story. >> Yep. Bulk hexagonal diamond. How did they do it? >> How did they do it? >> The challenge is the following, actually okay? You know,
