Diamond and graphite are two prototypical examples of allotropy. In his Communication on page 3680 ff., W. Grochala describes the results of hybrid density functional theory calculations for both forms of carbon, which point to an energetic preference for diamond at temperatures close to absolute zero but thermodynamic preference for graphite at ambient temperature (cover artwork by Dr. Karol Fijalkowski).
