Carbyne allotropes of carbon are interesting from an advanced-technology perspective, since materials with extreme properties are often useful in engineering, but for now, the instability of polyynes in the laboratory places such stuff outside the scope of conservative exploratory engineering methodologies. [...] [...] There are reports of a carbon allotrope, “carbyne”, that is (or would?) consist entirely of polyyne chains, but last time I checked (as I do every few years) these reports haven’t described reproducible, well-characterized materials.
