The stiffest materials also tend to be the hardest ones. Although osmium is hard for a metal, it's far softer than diamond, so when an estimate of its bulk modulus turned out higher than diamond, no one took it very seriously, says Hyunchae Cynn of the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory in California.
