Synthesis of a carbon nanobelt with potential applications in nanotechnology. Chemists have tried to synthesize carbon nanobelts for more than 60 years, but none have succeeded until now. A Nagoya University team reported the first organic synthesis of a carbon nanobelt in Science. Carbon nanobelts are expected to serve as a useful template for building carbon nanotubes and open a new field of nanocarbon science.
The new nanobelt, measuring 0...
