Stability solution brings unique form of carbon closer to practical application

Carbyne, a one-dimensional chain of carbon atoms, is incredibly strong for being so thin, making it an intriguing possibility for use in next-generation electronics, but its extreme instability made it nearly impossible to produce at all, let alone produce enough of it for advanced studies. Now, an international team of researchers may have a solution.
