Researchers at North Carolina State University say they have developed a technique for creating a substance they are calling Q-carbon, which represents a third phase, or distinct form, of carbon alongside graphite and diamond.

The technique used to create Q-carbon, which was pioneered over the summer, was described on Monday in the Journal of Applied Physics.

As reported in the New York Times on December 3, 2015.
