Amorphous Carbon

Amorphous carbon is a type of carbon material that lacks a regular, crystalline structure, unlike diamonds or graphite. It is made up of carbon atoms arranged in a random, disordered way, which gives it unique properties such as being very hard, opaque, and resistant to chemical reactions. This form of carbon is found in substances like soot, charcoal, and some thin coatings used in industry. Because of its versatility, amorphous carbon is used in applications like jewelry, electronics, and protective coatings, offering durability and energy absorption qualities without the organized structure of crystalline forms.
