Carbyne: Researchers investigate optical band gap of carbon
compound

Which photophysical properties does carbyne have? This
was the subject of research carried out by scientists at
Friedrich-Alexander-Universität Erlangen-Nürnberg (FAU), the
University of Alberta, Canada, and the Ecole Polytechnique Fédérale
de Lausanne in Switzerland, which has led to a greater
understanding of the properties of this unusual form of carbon.
Their findings have now been published in the latest edition of the
journal Nature Communications.
