Timing is everything. In 1996, a committee of British experts turned down the funding request of their colleague Harold Kroto ...

Researchers have resolved a puzzling vibrational phenomenon that has baffled the scientific community for years, after ...

PFAS are a group of chemicals that have been around for decades and are incredibly useful in household products, but that ...

Fullerenes are hollow carbon molecules where each atom is connected to exactly three other atoms, arranged in pentagonal and hexagonal rings. Mathematically, they can be combinatorially modeled as ...

Pure carbon is found in nature in several different forms, or allotropes, including graphene, diamond, nanotubes, and fullerenes or "buckyballs." Each form has attributes that make it excel at ...

However, as the number of isomers increases exponentially in higher fullerenes (C n, n>7), achieving their selective enrichment through molecular recognition remains a challenge. This study ...

Denka has acquired a 50% stake in the fullerene maker Frontier Carbon from Mitsubishi Corporation. Frontier, founded in Japan in 2001, supplies C60, C70, and higher-order fullerenes and blends.

To many people, fullerenes — special carbon molecules that have potential applications in many fields, from physics to biology — may sound a little like science fiction. In recent years ...

The stones are made up of clusters of carbon atoms called fullerenes. Natural shungite has lots of different textures and shapes. It usually has a black or dark-gray color and sometimes a metallic ...
