A study conducted by researchers at the University of São Paulo (USP) in Brazil and the Università degli Studi di Roma "La ...

Fullerene chemistry encompasses the investigation of closed-cage carbon structures and their extraordinary electronic, optical, and chemical properties. A particularly exciting facet of this field ...

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 ...

The image shows the molecular matryoshka used for the functionalisation of the fullerene C 60. The multi-shell reactor is based on three nested molecular structures that resemble a soccer ball ...

Fullerenes are all-carbon molecules with a distinctive closed-cage structure, ... The graph below shows the total number of publications each year in Fullerenes And Their Chemical Reactions.

Recently, researchers from Chiba University, Japan, have developed fullerene-pillared porous graphene with high designability and controllability of pore structures using a bottom-up approach.

They also performed ab initio molecular dynamics simulations in order to investigate the stability of the optimized structures. The results of their study have been published in the October 9, 2007 ...

Sidebar:The Most-Cited Chemistry Papers of 1991-93 chemistry papers published from 1991 to 1993 and reported in the July/August 1994 issue of the newsletter Science Watch, articles on fullerenes and ...

The researchers made their single-molecule switch by depositing fullerene molecules on the tip of a sharp metallic needle and applying a strong constant electric field at the tip’s apex. They observed ...

The structure is confirmed by spectroscopic and X-ray analyses. Nano-Saturn systems with a spherical molecule and a macrocyclic ring have been a fascinating structural motif for researchers.
