Carbon Money - Wiki

Carbon is a trustless, decentralized, and price stable cryptocurrency which closely correlates with the US Dollar, and was built using the Hedera Hashgraph. Samuel Trautwein, Gavin Mai, Connor Lin, and Miles Albert founded Carbon in 2018 in New York City, New York. Carbon achieves price stability through constant algorithmic adjustment of the Carbon coin supply based on user demand, and is classified as a stablecoin.

Single-walled carbon nanotubes should theoretically be extremely strong, but it remains unclear why their experimental tensile strengths are lower and vary among nanotubes. A team at Nagoya University, Kyoto University, and Aichi Institute of Technology directly measured the tensile strengths of individual structure-defined single-walled carbon nanotubes, revealing key insights into the relationship between their structure and strength.
