Carbon in itself is a very handy element and scientists have made so many different types of allotropes of carbon that have different yet very useful functions. One good example would be the wonder material ‘graphene’ which has been a game changer in the field. There are still a lot of allotropes yet to be manufactured of the very useful carbon. But even with a lot happening there’s still a mysterious form of carbon called carbyne, which has not been synthesized as yet even after 50 years of studying by different researchers.

> This new chain made has also broken a record for the most number of carbon atoms in a single continuous chain. The previous record was 100 atoms and now it’s a staggering 6,400 atoms using this new research by the researchers and this chain is quite stable.

Yes. Extremely unstable chemically. Numerical formula approximates

…=C=C=C=C=C=…

which can switch to single-bond + triple bond chain.
