Graphite crystals
Graphite crystals. Coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM) of graphite polyhedral crystals (GPCs, purple) growing in a pore of glassy carbon. Rod-shaped crystals and nanotubes (green) are also seen. These crystals are an unusual form of carbon, found in the pores of industrial glassy carbon, grown under hydrothermal conditions of high temperature and pressure. Extremely thin, needle-like carbon nanotubes develop into the highly ordered crystals. Larger GPCs could find applications in nanotechnology for their high electrical conductivity, strength and chemical stability. Magnification: x5800 at 6x7cm size

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the mesmerizing beauty of graphite crystals. In this coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM), we are granted a glimpse into the intricate world of these unusual carbon formations. The purple-hued graphite polyhedral crystals (GPCs) take center stage, growing gracefully within a pore of glassy carbon. Alongside them, rod-shaped crystals and nanotubes in vibrant green hues add to the visual spectacle. These remarkable crystals are not your ordinary form of carbon; they exist exclusively within the pores of industrial glassy carbon, cultivated under hydrothermal conditions characterized by high temperature and pressure. The development process involves extremely thin needle-like carbon nanotubes that eventually transform into exquisitely ordered GPCs. The potential applications for larger GPCs in nanotechnology are vast and promising. Their exceptional electrical conductivity, strength, and chemical stability make them highly sought after for various technological advancements. This microscopic view at a magnification level of x5800 reveals their intricate microstructures and nanostructures. Through this photograph from Science Photo Library, we gain insight into the fascinating world of crystallography, materials science, and physics. It serves as a reminder that even on an infinitesimally small scale, nature can create wonders that captivate both scientists and enthusiasts alike.
