Fullerenes with small energy differences between filled and unfilled electronic states of the individual fullerene molecules (“small gap fullerenes”) are especially susceptible to such spontaneous ...

A study conducted by researchers at the University of São Paulo (USP) in Brazil and the Università degli Studi di Roma "La Sapienza" in Italy has synthesized fullerenes and hollow spherical graphene ...

A unique carbon nanomaterial, first discovered by astrochemists studying the formation of molecules around distant stars, could be critical to successfully harnessing energy from our Sun. Derived from ...

Carbon fullerenes—specifically C 60, the spherical "bucky ball"—have received their fair share of attention, even in the shadow of the more buzz-worthy developments with carbon nanotubes and graphene.

Astronomers have detected fullerenes in a planetary nebula, shown in this artist’s rendering. The discovery suggests that fullerenes form readily in space, given the right conditions. Fullerenes, ...

Fullerenes were first discovered by Harry Kroto in the 1970s, a feat for which he and his colleagues received a Nobel Prize in Chemistry. Recently, they have been found in winds emitted by red giants ...
