Researchers have helped show carbyne's potential as a powerful nanoscale sensor thanks to its exotic quantum vibrations.

Researchers have resolved a puzzling vibrational phenomenon that has baffled the scientific community for years, after discovering a strange quantum link between carbyne and carbon nanotubes.Led by the University of Vienna in Austria, along with researchers from Italy, France, China, and Japan, the study sheds new light on how carbynes, crystalline forms of carbon linked in chains with alternating single and triple bonds, interact with nanotubes on a quantum level.

But, during the experiment, the team observed a puzzling vibrational system state that couldn’t be explained by existing models and was completely misunderstood at the time. That has now changed, after researchers, led by Emil Parth, MSc, a University of Vienna physicist, and lead author of the study, took a closer look at the previously unexplained state, and finally found answers. They now used an innovative theoretical model enabled by recent breakthroughs in machine learning.
