Stone–Wales Transformations

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2025-09-12 01:07:12

Buckminsterfullerene is a molecule shaped like a soccer ball, made of 60 carbon atoms. If one of the bonds between two hexagons rotates, we get a weird mutant version of this molecule: This is an example of a Stone-Wales transformation: a 90° rotation in a so-called ‘π bond’ between carbon atoms. Here’s how it works in graphene: Graphene is a sheet of carbon molecules arranged in hexagons. When they undergo a Stone–Wales transformation, we get a Stone–Wales defect with two pentagons and two he

We live in a fast-evolving digital age, making a high-speed internet connection as essential as running water and electricity. But a lack of affordable internet options perpetuates what is known as the broadband divide -- the gap that divides those who can or can't digitally connect in meaningful ways. A lesser-known discussion point around the broadband divide goes beyond a lack of internet access. Lack of fast internet -- fiber internet, specifically -- negatively affects home values, hurting

This story originally appeared on Grist and is part of the Climate Desk collaboration. The “one big beautiful bill” that President Donald Trump signed into law on July 4 is set to upend many aspects of American life, including climate policy. The law, which Republicans backed en masse, not only derails the nation’s efforts to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, it could also strike a blow to consumers’ pocketbooks.

24 hours with Alexa Plus: we cooked, we chatted, and it kinda lied to me

I’ve waited two years to try out the new Alexa, which was first announced way back in 2023, and this week I finally got access to Alexa Plus. I’ve now spent 24 hours with Amazon’s generative AI-powered voice assistant, and it’s not just an improvement on the original; it’s an entirely new assistant.

If there’s one thing we all want from our next smartphone, it’s more battery life. Thankfully, battery cells are bigger than ever, while processors are increasingly frugal. This means that many, but certainly not all, flagship and mid-range handsets can take us through a day without leaving us suffering from battery anxiety. However, some phones are definitely better than others at lasting through more demanding work/life balances or taking lighter users through a second day. Not to mention, th

If you want to get into stargazing in 2025, there’s no better place to start than viewing a meteor shower. Meteor showers, or shooting stars, happen when Earth’s orbital path crosses a path of debris left by a comet and that material burns up in the Earth’s atmosphere. Watching a meteor shower is one of the most accessible ways to engage with the night sky.
