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 ...

Carbon-based nanomaterials such as carbon nanotubes (CNTs), fullerenes, and graphene receive a great deal of attention today due to their unique physical properties. A new study explores the potential ...

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.

Nanocarbon refers to various carbon-based materials with nanoscale dimensions, typically in the range of 1-100 nanometers. These materials exhibit unique physical, chemical, and electronic properties ...

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 ...

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.
