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 ...

Molecular dynamics simulations have emerged as a pivotal tool for elucidating the intricate behaviour of fullerenes in various solvents, particularly water. Fullerenes, a unique class of carbon ...

Tsukuba, Japan--Fullerenes are composed of 60 carbon atoms joined together in hexagonal rings to form a sphere that strongly resembles a soccer ball. Fullerenes are of great interest to materials ...

Buckyballs are defined as “Compounds composed solely of an even number of carbon atoms, which form a cage-like fused-ring polycyclic system with twelve five-membered rings and the rest six-membered ...

There are plenty of examples of nanomaterials we could write about – nanoparticles, quantum dots, nanowires, nanofibers, ultrathin-films etc. One example, though, that is exemplary of how an 'old' ...

Organic photovoltaics have achieved remarkably high efficiencies, but finding optimum combinations of materials for high-performance organic solar cells, which are also economically competitive, still ...

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.

Our fundamental goals are to understand, control and exploit the light-material interactions for biomedical applications. Understanding of photon-nanomaterial interactions will allow rational ...
