This body, known as 55 Cancri e, "is likely covered in graphite and diamond rather than water and granite, " according to astronomer Nikku Madhusudhan from Yale University.
For instance, graphite and diamond are both made of carbon, but the difference in the crystalline arrangements of their carbon atoms means that graphite conducts electricity while diamond is a good insulator.

Graphite is inexpensive and stable, and the process of using graphite to build the anode is well understood.
FORBES: Tin: The Secret To Improving Lithium-Ion Battery Life
Germany's SGL Carbon (6, SGG) has fallen 33% since May and has yet to recover as it supplies primarily the hard-hit steel and semiconductor industries with carbon and graphite products, which include electrodes, laboratory components and furnace linings.
Graphite is generally soft and crumbly, so soon after, Italian craftsmen came up with the idea of hollowing out a stick of juniper wood and filling it with graphite.
The graphite caught fire and burned for four days, releasing large amounts of contaminated particulates.

Elemental carbon had long been thought to exist in only three physical forms: graphite, diamond and an amorphous form, of which charcoal is an example.
We got a sneak preview of the website last week and our unit a Jambox with a white grill and graphite caps just arrived.
There was a moment when there existed the danger of a nuclear explosion, and they had to get the water out from under the reactor, so that a mixture of uranium and graphite wouldn't get into it with the water they would have formed a critical mass.
Think of it this way: The graphite in a pencil and a diamond differ only in how their carbon atoms are arranged.

The ministers also prohibited the export to Iran of further materials relevant to the Iranian nuclear and ballistic programmes or to industries controlled by the Islamic Revolution Guard Corps (IRGC), including graphite, raw or semi-finished metals such as aluminium and steel, as well as software for integrating industrial processes.
As for the foyer: The dark plastered walls are going to be covered up by leather graphite-colored panels to lighten the space and the LED star is going to be exchanged for a more subdued photograph of a tree.
And that smooth drag comes from the graphite-impregnated cork disc, which acts like a brake pad, slowing it down without locking.
For instance, the ultra-thin layers of graphene (a two-dimensional form of graphite) are formed by injecting liquid solutions containing carbon and silicon into an extremely hot, ionised gas (plasma) of argon.

The substance, which is derived from graphite, is stronger than diamond, more conductive than copper and more flexible than rubber.
The materials Dr Brooks and his colleagues are planning to use in their experiment have more complex molecular structures than graphite, but they work in essentially the same way to create restrictions on where electrons can go.
