Professor Jay Siegel of Health Science Platform at Tianjin University recently published a perspective article inScience,explaining the design of man-made allotropes of carbon. Particularly, this perspective highlighted the recent discoveries in the Itami group, which were published in the same issue. In their research paper the Itami group described the synthesis of an angular-fused hoop structure. Such nanobelts have been long-standing targets since 1954. The molecular design and synthesis has made this type of molecule possible despite the present synthesis is accomplished in
