Carbon is one of the most common chemical elements on our planet. Moreover, carbon is the basis of our existence, because we are, in fact, carbon-based life forms. Since the unique chemical structure of carbon allows it to easily bond with other atoms to form molecules and thereby participate in important biochemical processes. However, carbon has many uses outside of biology. For example, in radio electronics. And we’re not talking about the well-known graphene now. More recently, a group of researchers from the United States was able to create a completely new and never-before-seen form of carbon. And this is the first step towards creating an artificial brain.
