Perhaps carbon nanotubes, which are associated with graphite, are more essential than fullerenes. The molecular structure of graphite is like stacked, one-atom-thick sheets of chicken wire – a planar ...

The graphite running through pencils has a layered structure and each layer is a honeycomb lattice, like tessellated benzene rings where each carbon atom is now bonded to three nearest neighbours. As ...
