Carbon has this funny reputation problem. It is either the villain in a climate headline or the hero in a materials science lab, depending on where you’re standing. In practice, it’s both. And neither. It’s a basic building block that keeps showing up in modern industry in

Media pressure used to feel like a newsroom thing. Deadlines. Editors. The evening broadcast. A front page that had to be “final” because the printing press was already running. Now it is everyone’s thing. A brand, a public figure, a small business, a school, even a random person who
