EV battery breakthrough could enable ultra-fast charging with more range, longer life A research team at Tohoku University ...

The discovery of soccer-ball-shaped buckminsterfullerene in 1985 inspired researchers to lock atoms of a single element together into novel shapes, such as nanotubes, for applications in drug delivery ...

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 ...

In 1980 we knew of only three forms of carbon, namely diamond, graphite, and amorphous carbon. Today we know there is a whole family of other forms of carbon. The first to be discovered was the hollow ...

In a world-first, researchers have created a fullerene-like molecule composed entirely of metal atoms. Synthesized by a team of chemists from China’s Nankai University, Nanjing Tech University and ...
