Graphullerene: newly discovered form of carbon is graphene's 'superatomic' cousin

https://phys.org/news/2023-01-newly-carbon-graphene-superatomic-cousin.html

"a new 2D carbon... layers of linked fullerenes peeled into ultrathin thin flakes from a larger graphullerite crystal somewhere between fullerene and graphene... incredibly modular 60 carbon atoms in the ball to work with, fullerenes can theoretically be linked together in a number of different ways, each of which could yield different electronic, magnetic, and optical properties... discoveries of both graphene and fullerenes were incredibly impactful; will be interesting to see applications for combination of both"
