Carbon-18, AFM image
Carbon-18, atomic force microscopy (AFM) image. Laplace-filtered image of cyclo[18]carbon, obtained during the research that produced a stable form of this cyclocarbon. The IBM researchers studying the molecule determined that the electronic structure was alternating triple bonds and single bonds, which means the molecule could potentially be a semiconductor. Image published in August 2019.
