Narrow-gap, semiconducting, superhard amorphous carbon with high toughness, derived from C60 fullerene

Summary: New carbon forms that exhibit extraordinary physicochemical properties can be generated from nanostructured precursors under extreme pressure. Nevertheless, synthesis of such fascinating materials is often not well understood. That is the case of the C60 precursor, with irreproducible resul...
