Schwarzites: Long-sought carbon structure joins graphene, fullerene family

Monday, August 13, 2018 - 14:01 in Physics & Chemistry

The discovery of buckyballs surprised and delighted chemists in the 1980s, nanotubes jazzed physicists in the 1990s, and graphene charged up materials scientists in the 2000s, but one nanoscale carbon structure—a negatively curved surface called a schwarzite—has eluded everyone. Until now.
