Researchers have identified highly ionized species of the famous soccer ball-shaped 'Buckminsterfullerene' C60 molecule as plausible carriers of at least some of the most prominent and enigmatic ...

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 ...

New York, NY—May 3, 2013—Columbia Engineering researchers have developed a technique to isolate a single water molecule inside a buckyball, or C60, and to drive motion of the so-called "big" nonpolar ...

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 ...

And, well, if something works well, or even just attracts a lot of attention (as big, flashy, pulsating light sculptures usually do), it’s probably best to make the exact same thing again and tweak it ...
