"So-called defects can be created in the carbon lattice of graphene. These can be thought of as small holes that make the lattice permeable to gases," says chemistry professor Frank Würthner from ...

because while diamond forms with a tetrahedral arrangement in its carbon lattice (known as diamond cubic), lonsdaleite forms a hexagonal one that increases thermal stability and hardness.

Graphene is a revolutionary material composed of a single layer of carbon atoms arranged in a hexagonal lattice ...

Given the high quality of the carbon lattice, electrons move ballistically, that is, without scattering, for several hundreds of nanometres even at room temperature. This feature makes graphene a ...

displaying a network of irregularly arranged carbon atoms (shown by the red lattice lines) with varying bond lengths (indicated by numerical values) and bond angles (shown in degrees). The colored ...
