The various different forms of carbon include diamond, graphite, graphene (a single sheet of graphite) and the fullerenes, which form when carbon atoms bond together into tube and sphere-like ...

Researchers at The University of Manchester in the UK, led by Dr Artem Mishchenko, Prof Volodya Fal'ko and Prof Andre Geim, have discovered the quantum Hall effect in bulk graphite - a layered crystal ...

Converting graphite into diamond has been a long held dream of alchemists the world over. In the modern era, materials scientists have puzzled over this process because it’s hard to work out why the ...

Palladium-catalyzed coupling of a dibromo hexaphenylbenzene and a hexaphenylbenzene bis(boronic acid) gave a 168-carbon polyphenylene macrocycle. Its X-ray structure ...

Cyclo[18]carbon. Artistic representation of AFM data of a cyclo[18]carbon molecule, with the determined molecular structure fading in. Credit: IBM Research Bonding matters. It explains the difference ...

In this Letter is described the analogous hexagon preserving C allotrope transformations of graphite to diamond, as a packing of C spheres on the one hand, and alternatively C nanotubes to the C ...
