Jan. 11, 2023 — The most well-known forms of carbon include graphite and diamond, but there are other more exotic nanoscale allotropes of carbon as well. These include graphene and fullerenes ...

Natural diamond, seen here, has a cubic packing structure. But a much rarer form of diamond has hexagonal packing and has now ...

The brilliantly shiny diamond is more than just pretty; it's one of the hardest minerals on Earth, with a name derived from ...

Carbon and natural graphene have been found in lunar dust for the first time, opening up new opportunities for moon ...
