There is actually no scientifically accepted 'hardest' substance known to man and there are a lot of debates over this.
It's a common misconception that diamond is the hardest but variations of substances like Boron and minerals like Lonsdaleite are actually tougher than diamonds.
What else can I help you with?
What is the name of the hardest material known to man?
ADNR's are a special manmade form of pure carbon that are harder (and denser) than natural diamonds and manmade ultrahard fullerine. I believe the answer is lonsdaleite. It is naturally made and is 58% harder than diamonds.
What group contains the hardest metals known to man?
The hardest element is chromium, which is in group 6.
Which group contains the hardest metals known to man?

Is acrylic man made or natural?

Is a beer mug a natural substance or man-made?
It is a man-made material.

Diamond is the hardest known natural material on Earth, scoring a 10 out of 10 on the Mohs scale of mineral hardness.
Are diamonds the hardest substance known to man?
Diamonds are the HARDEST natural material. Mankind has created harder artificial materials.

What is the hardest natural material found in the entire universe?
The hardest material known to man is currently called lonsdaleite (a carbon form), which is approx. 58 % harder than a diamond and then there is wurtzite boron nitride which is about 18% harder than diamond. Both occur in nature just like diamonds.
What are some of the hardest natural materials known to man?
Lonsdaleite, diamond, and wurtzide boron nitrid. http://www.newscientist.com/article/dn16610-diamond-no-longer-natures-hardest-material.html
Can sandpaper scratch a diamond?
No, sandpaper cannot scratch a diamond because diamonds are the hardest natural material on the Mohs scale of mineral hardness. Sandpaper is designed to abrade or scratch softer materials, not harder ones like diamond.
Hardest substance known to man?
Diamond

What is the hardest element known to man?
Diamonds.
Is Nano-material the most hardest material ever found on earth so far I wonder what material which has been proven regardless of natural or man-made is the most hardest ever found so far?
Hardest material ever FOUND so far is still diamond because it's produced by nature. Nano-materials are proven to be harder than any diamond but since it's man made it can not be "found". It's engineered. So the question for this nano variants should be - how hard do you need it to be ?
