Nano-material is harder than diamonds By Will Knight A material that is harder than diamond has been created in the lab, by packing together tiny ânanorodsâ of carbon. The new material, known as aggregated carbon nanorods (ACNR), was created by compressing and heating super-strong carbon molecules called buckyballs or carbon-60.
Consequently, quartz countertops are cleaner and more resilient against bacteria and stains. Quartz and Granite are both extremely strong materials. However, a quartz countertop is the more durable of the two, ranking second only to diamonds when comparing the hardness and scratch resistance of materials.Diamond is rated at 10, quartz is rated at 7.uartz is a harder and stronger material. Granite has veins, movement, and natural color patterns which make it a more beautiful surface than most quartz countertops.
