"Creating graphyne is a "really old, long-standing question, but since the synthetic tools were limited, the interest went down... alkyne metathesis... organic reaction entails redistribution, or cutting and reforming, of alkyne chemical bonds (a type of hydrocarbon with at least one carbon-carbon triple covalent bond)—as well as thermodynamics and kinetic control, the group was able to successfully create what had never been created before: A material that could rival the conductivity of graphene but with control"
