A rotation in the atoms of this element causes the Stone-Wales defect.
A rotation in the atoms of this element causes the Stone-Wales defect. Geim and Novoselov used adhesive tape to isolate an atom-thick material composed of this element. Another material composed of this element can be divided into single-walled and multi-walled types. Curl, Kroto, and Smalley discovered a molecule that is composed of this element and resembles a geodesic dome. One allotrope of this element is the hardest substance known, and another is used in pencils. For 10 points, name this element whose allotropes include diamond and graphite.
