Scientists finally tame the impossible 48-atom carbon ring
SMRTR summary
Oxford University chemists successfully created a stable 48-atom carbon ring by threading it through three macrocycles, allowing it to be studied in solution at room temperature. This cyclocarbon, only the second example of its kind since fullerenes in 1990, remains stable for 92 hours at 20°C. The breakthrough enables easier research on carbon structures under normal laboratory conditions.
