"strung nickel atoms like pearls into a string of of molecular beads made of carbon and sulfur... easily and strongly conducted electricity... very stable... heated it, chilled it, exposed it to air and humidity, dripped acid and base on it, nothing happened... molecular structure disordered... forms layers... electrons move horizontally or vertically as long as pieces touch... unprecedented for a conductive material... can smush it into place and it conducts electricity... can be made at room temperatures"
