​A new 2D carbon allotrope bridges graphene and functional materials 

Researchers from CSIC-UPV/EHU, the University of the Basque Country (UPV/EHU), the Technical University of Munich, the University of Nebraska–Lincoln, Al-Azhar University, and the Donostia International Physics Center (DIPC) have reported the creation of a previously unrealized two-dimensional (2D) carbon allotrope that integrates graphene’s structure with precisely engineered nanopores and biphenylene segments.

This new material bridges the gap between ideal graphene sheets and more complex, functional carbon architectures, opening promising avenues for next-generation applications in nanoelectronics and chemical sensing.
