The most well-known forms of carbon include graphite and diamond, but there are other more exotic nanoscale allotropes of carbon as well. These include graphene and fullerenes, which are sp2 hybridized carbon with zero (flat-shaped) or positive (sphere-shaped) curvatures.
Meanwhile, sp2 hybridized carbon with negative curvature, called 'schwarzite,' has been proposed theoretically, and its
