Recent research revealed that when ultra-hard diamond composites are struck by projectiles travelling at <a href="https://www.mid-day.com/news/world-news/article/kim-jong-un-oversees-launch-of-hypersonic-missile-with-ai-technology-north-korea-claims-23653308" target="_blank" rel="none noopener">hypersonic speeds</a>, portions of the diamond rapidly transform into graphite within microseconds, working as highly efficient shock absorber.
The newly formed graphite interfaces help redistribute the destructive force, offering new pathways for engineering materials built to survive extreme environments.
