Researchers at Stony Brook University Predict Material 'Denser than Diamond'Subhead: New forms of carbon break the record of density and predicted to possess tunable electronic properties

Stony Brook University graduate student Qiang Zhu, together with Professor of Geosciences and Physics, Artem R. Oganov, postdoc Andriy O. Lyakhov and their colleagues from the University de Oviedo in Spain, have predicted three new forms of carbon, the findings of which were published in a paper entitled " Denser than diamond: Ab initio search for superdense carbon allotropes ," in the June 7, 2011 online edition of Physical Review B.
