For over a decade, scientists have attempted听to synthesize a new form of carbon called听graphyne with limited success. That endeavor,听though, is now at an end, thanks to new听research from Wei Zhang鈥檚 lab at 澳门六合彩历史记录.

Graphyne has long been of interest to scientists听because of its similarities to the 鈥渨onder听material鈥� graphene鈥攁nother form of carbon听that earned the 2010 Nobel Prize in physics.

However, despite decades of work, only a few听fragments had ever been created before now.

This new research fills a longstanding gap in听carbon material science, potentially opening听brand new possibilities for electronics, optics听and semiconducting material research.

鈥淭his could be the next-generation wonder听material,鈥� Zhang said. 鈥淭hat鈥檚 why people are听very excited.鈥�
