In some of the first research to probe how buckyballs will interact with natural ecosystems, Rice University's Center for Biological and Environmental Nanotechnology finds that the molecules ...

Is there now at long last some plausible theoretical basis for the molecular origins and carriers of at least some of the most prominent so called ‘UIE’ (unidentified Infrared Emission) bands that ...

If you are looking for a unique desktop showpiece you may be interested in the carbon fiber model of the C60 molecule created by the engineers over at AltDynamic. The 1996 Nobel Prize winning ...

A perennial favorite nanoparticle, the buckyball, is making a tiny return to the news this week. The C60 molecule, full name buckminsterfullerene (named after the geodesic domes of Richard Buckminster ...

HOUSTON, April 23, 2007 -- A new study by Rice University scientists predicts the existence and stability of another "buckyball" consisting entirely of boron atoms. The research, which has been ...

Scientists from Leiden University have shown in the laboratory how Buckyballs — molecular soccer balls — form in space. The experiments are special, as these are based on a new chemical concept — ...

A new study from Rice University predicts the existence and stability of another "buckyball" consisting entirely of boron atoms. The research shows a stable structure for a molecular sphere of 80 ...

A new spherical form of carbon, smaller than the famous carbon buckyball discovered nearly 20 years ago, has been made by Chinese scientists. Su-Yuan Xie of Xiamen University and colleagues report in ...
