A newly created form of carbon in a mesh just one atom thick is tantalizing scientists with hints that it could sharply improve rechargeable batteries and allow wires so small that they can operate at a scale where metals fail. The material, known as biphenylene network, is highly conductive and may prove able to store more electrical energy than even graphene, the atomic-thickness carbon honeycomb material identified nearly 20 years ago.
