Carbon Nanotubes

Three allotropes of Carbon, Diamond, Graphite and Buckminster Fullerene are known.

There is another, a one slice of graphite (graphene) that is rolled into a tube to make a carbon nanotube called a carbon fibre.

This model was created by me since a manufactured model didn't exist.  I made a sheet of graphene three carbons joined to each other then rolled it up like the real thing. The tube is incredibly strong .
