synthesized due to its instability. A team from IBM, however, has figured out a way to create this elusive molecule. Triangulene is a flat molecule made of six carbon rings structured in the shape of a triangle. The problem with synthesizing this molecule is that it contains unpaired electrons in two of its outer carbons. These free electrons cause the molecule to oxidize almost instantly as these electrons react to try to find stability. The researcher team form IBM has found a way to…
