A fullerene is a carbon compound whose molecule is made up of carbon atoms linked together by single and double bonds to create a closed or partly closed mesh with rings of 5 to 7 atoms. Graphene ...

Fullerenes, a unique class of carbon allotropes arranged as hollow spheres or ellipsoids, have attracted significant attention in biomedicine due to their versatile chemical and physical properties.

Fullerenes have been investigated for applications such as novel pharmaceuticals and cosmetics. 1 C 60 fullerenes and their derivatives have been reported to possess activity as enzyme inhibitors, 2 ...

Working with a different carbon nanomaterial, researchers at the University of Florida, led by Stephen Grobmyer, Ben Koopman and Brij Moudgil, now have been first to show that polyhydroxy fullerenes ...

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 ...

Researchers solved the stability issues of fullerene anodes, paving the way for lithium-ion batteries that charge faster and ...

Carbon fullerenes—specifically C 60, the spherical "bucky ball"—have received their fair share of attention, even in the shadow of the more buzz-worthy developments with carbon nanotubes and graphene.

VANCOUVER, BC, Jan. 31, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- The global fullerene market size reached USD 487.9 Million in 2020 and is expected to register a steady revenue CAGR during the forecast period, according ...

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 ...
