Stability solutions bring unique carbon forms that are close to practical applications
This image shows how special molecules disintegrate when heated in small carbon tubes to form a completely straight chain of carbon atoms known as carbines. Credits: Elizabeth Floresgomez Murray/Jennifer M. McCann/Pennsylvania The one-dimensional chain of carbon atoms, the Carbine is so thin that it is very powerful and an interesting possibility for use in next-generation electronics, but its extreme instability…
