γ-graphyne is a symmetrical carbon allotrope with sp 1 and sp 2 hybridized carbon atoms and is viewable when graphene expands uniformly with its aromatic rings separated by two-carbon acetylenic units ...

Graphyne is a crystalline form of carbon that is distinct from both diamond and graphite. Unlike diamond, where each atom possesses four immediate neighbors, or graphite, where each atom has three, ...

Graphene was discovered at the University of Manchester in 2004, and is a one atom thick substance with incredible electronic and mechanical properties. Graphene has taken the world of nanoscience ...

At long last: the crystal structure of three layers of γ-graphyne. (Courtesy: Yiming Hu) Two new processes for producing different types of graphyne – a 2D allotrope of carbon that includes triple ...

Diamond and graphite are two naturally occurring carbon allotropes that we have known for thousands of years. They are elemental carbons that are arranged in a manner so that they consist of sp3 and ...

Many people will have heard of graphene, even if they don’t know exactly what it is. Graphyne, on the other hand, is not as well known. In this article, we look at what both of these materials are and ...

The “wonder material” graphene might be in for some competition from a new group of materials called graphynes – according to computer simulations done in Germany. Like graphene, a graphyne is a sheet ...
