Buckminster fullerenes with three metal atoms caged inside of them could give designers new materials for medicine, tribology, and molecular computing. Scientists and engineers have been excited about ...

That's big news with gas prices on the rise, growing pollution and increasing international tensions.At the National Renewable Energy Lab, the staff has been developing 'buckminster fullerenes' or ...

Truncated icosahedron: technical term for a soccer ball in the United States, a football everywhere else. The scientists who vaporized the graphite to produce C 60 named the new carbon allotrope ...

Researchers have gained new insights into the unique chemical properties of spherical molecules composed entirely of carbon atoms, called fullerenes. They did it by making flat fragments of the ...

Super-atom molecular orbitals are orbitals that form diffuse hydrogenic excited electronic states of fullerenes with their electron density centred at the centre of the hollow carbon cage and a ...

A study conducted by researchers at the University of São Paulo (USP) in Brazil and the Università degli Studi di Roma "La Sapienza" in Italy has synthesized fullerenes and hollow spherical graphene ...
