Fullerene chemistry continues to be a vibrant field of research, offering insights into the unique structural and electronic properties of carbon-based nanomaterials. At its core, fullerenes are ...

Using an artificial Ebola virus model, a medical researchers have demonstrated how a supermolecule -- constituted by 13 fullerenes -- has been able of inhibiting the virus infection by blocking a ...

Fullerenes, a class of closed-cage carbon allotropes typified by C₆₀, have attracted enduring interest due to their unique structural, electronic and supramolecular properties. Their conjugated ...

Scientists from the Skoltech Center for Energy Science and Technology (CEST) and the Institute for Problems of Chemical Physics of Russian Academy of Sciences have developed a novel approach for ...

Chemists have managed to synthesize a compound featuring an Si20 dodecahedron. The long strived-for silicon dodecahedron has been synthesized at room temperature. Goethe University chemists have ...

Fullerene is a cage-shaped molecule that has a lot of potential to boost the efficiency of catalytic systems. It works well as an electron buffer, which improves the efficiency of reactions such as ...

Using organic synthesis as a scalpel and stitches, Japanese researchers have performed "molecular surgery" on a buckyball. A group at Kyoto University creates an opening in the molecule, inserts H 2 ...

The program generates cartesian/internal coordinates for fullerene isomers and performs a topological/graph theoretical analysis. The results can be used for plotting 2D/3D fullerene graphs (e.g.

Truncated icosahedron: technical term for a soccer ball in the United States, a football everywhere else. The scientists who vaporized the graphite to produce C 60 named the new carbon allotrope ...

Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is invaluable in the medical world. But despite all the good it does, there is room for improvement. One way to enhance the sensitivity of MRI is dynamic nuclear ...

Different studies have demonstrated that the ebola virus infection process starts when the virus reaches the cellular DC-SIGN receptor to infect the dendritic cells (of the immune system). European ...
