image: The structure of compressed glassy carbon consists of interpenetrating graphene networks. These networks are constructed by sp3, diamond?like nodes (red spheres) that connect curved, buckled and crosslinked graphene sheets (black spheres). This material relates to a paper that appeared in the June 09, 2017, issue of Science Advances, published by AAAS. The paper, by M. Hu at Yanshan University in Qinhuangdao, China, and colleagues was titled, "Compressed glassy carbon: An ultrastrong and elastic interpenetrating graphene network." view more
