Not Your Parents' Carbon: A New Type of Crystalline Graphite: Scientific American

Not Your Parents' Carbon: A New Type of Crystalline Graphite: Scientific American: "This new type of carbon was first observed in 2003, when researchers placed graphite, a stacking of chicken-wire-shaped networks of carbon atoms, under high pressure at room temperature. Under this “cold” compression, the graphite began to assume a hybrid form, between that of graphene and of diamond, but its exact nature was unknown."
