The material, produced under intense pressure and high temperatures, could serve as a coolant and neutron moderator in next-generation nuclear fusion reactors.

For the first time in history, scientists have successfully created and observed liquid carbon in a laboratory—a feat once thought impossible. The University of Rostock and the Helmholtz-Zentrum Dresden-Rossendorf (HZDR) in Germany achieved the breakthrough.

First Experimental Observation of Liquid Carbon Structure

“This marks the first time we have experimentally observed the structure of liquid carbon,” said Professor Dominik Kraus, head of the research team, in an interview with Interesting Engineering. The study was published on Wednesday (21) on the Nature website.

Kraus explained that liquid carbon has a complex and distinctive structure, with unique properties comparable to those of water.
