The nanoscale world appears to have a new ball to kick around. Researchers from Brown University have shown the first ...
Buckminsterfullerenes, or buckyballs, are hollow, soccer ball–shaped molecular cages first discovered in carbon. Their ...
Portland, Ore. — Nanotechnologists have performed theoretical calculations predicting that buckyballs, a common nanoparticle, could disrupt the functioning of deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA). These ...
The key to nanotechnology may not be making tiny structures out of individual molecules. It may be forcing those structures to build themselves. And scientists appear to have found a way to make that ...
Rice University chemists have discovered that tiny gold "seed" particles, a key ingredient in one of the most common nanoparticle recipes, are one and the same as gold buckyballs, 32-atom spherical ...
Owners of Buckyballs and Buckycubes desk magnets are eligible for refunds if they return the products, the Consumer Product Safety Commission said Thursday. In the spring of 2012, CPSC sued Maxfield & ...
Scientists have married two unconventional forms of carbon – one shaped like a soccer ball, the other a tiny diamond – to make a molecule that conducts electricity in only one direction. This tiny ...
When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn an affiliate commission. Here’s how it works. Soccer-ball-shaped carbon molecules known as buckyballs may be the cause of mysterious bands seen ...
Observations made with NASA’s Spitzer Space Telescope have provided surprises concerning the presence of buckminsterfullerenes, or “buckyballs,” the largest known molecules in space. A study of R ...
The Consumer Product Safety Commission has just banned the sale of Buckyballs, those magic magnets that can be shaped any which way, because the balls are a serious health hazard for children. It’s ...
Researchers at Carnegie Science have developed an ultrahard diamond glass. Made entirely of crushed “soccerballs” of carbon, the new material also has high thermal conductivity and could find use in ...
