Science reporter magazine Science journal published this Schwarzites New Formof Carbon Created Page no 02 Science reporter magazine The importance of the work of the scientists was noticed by the University of California Berkeley chemists who identified these ZTC materials as schwarzites based on their negative curvature. Be rend Smite, an adjunct professor of chemistry and bimolecular engineering at the University of California, Berkeley, along with his team demonstrated that it was possible to create these (ZTC) structures by injecting a vapor containing carbon into zealots. Science reporter magazinesubscription Once inside the carbon assembles into a grapheme-like sheet that lines the walls of the pores in the zealot. In doing so the surface stretches to minimize the area. As schwarzites are topologically minimal surfaces they tend to acquire negative curvature. The zealot is then dissolved to produce pure schwarzites science reporter subscribe this magazine .
