At the risk of being close to OT, "Science News" magazine has an interesting
article on carbon in the form of "graphene."  This atom-thick slice of
graphite, basically an un-rolled carbon nanotube, has some interesting
characteristics.

 

See  http://www.sciencenews.org/articles/20070929/bob8.asp

 

One comment that caught me eye is, "The graphitic bond-the carbon-to-carbon
bond-is the strongest in nature, even stronger than the bonds between carbon
atoms in diamond."
