The search for novel, superhard materials
TL;DR: The recent development in the field of superhard materials with Vickers hardness of ⩾40 GPa is reviewed in this article, where two basic approaches are outlined including the intrinsic superhard material, such as diamond, cubic boron nitride, C3N4, carbonitrides, etc. and extrinsic, nanostructured materials for which superhardness is achieved by an appropriate design of their microstructure.
