Although there are many different geological formations on Earth, the conditions in all parts of the universe are not the same as on our planet. under different circumstances that different structures can be formed scientists have proven it time and again in their previous controlled experiments.

If this is a new study hypothesis He backs it up with a natural example: a stone that fell on our world by a meteor attracts attention with its harder and more durable structure than diamonds. The place where this stone first appeared is also quite remarkable.

thousands of years old space apple

geologist from Monash University in Australia Andy Tomkins, conducted a study to catalog meteorites called meteorites. In this work, he discovered a space rock that resembled a strange, “curled” diamond. Stone found in Northwest Africa, later PhD candidate Alan Salek He started studying with

According to Tomkins’ theory, in the meteorite Lonsdaleite The meteorite, in which there is a hexagonal carbon allotrope (called crystals of the same element with different geometric structures, formed by arranging in different shapes) of the type called 4.5 billion years ago It started from the crust of an existing dwarf planet. These structures were created as a result of a meteor impact that meant the end of the planet.

Thanks to the state-of-the-art methods, this structure is for the future. based on major breakthroughs Another researcher, who says there may be

The team of researchers to analyze the meteorite electron microscope and by mapping the object’s components in space, they were able to observe lonsdaleite, diamonds and graphite in the stone.

Structures called Lonsdaleite are normally in three different ways it comes out. Scientists believe that with the study of natural formation, new methods will emerge in the production of this substance in industry. Thanks to the discovery of this structure, which scientists previously put forward in theory, we will be able to observe the interactions in the universe.
