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 ...

Fullerene chemistry encompasses the investigation of closed-cage carbon structures and their extraordinary electronic, optical, and chemical properties. A particularly exciting facet of this field is ...

Recent advances in materials and device design have led to power conversion efficiencies exceeding 9% for solution-processed organic solar cells (OSCs) 1, approaching the benchmark required for ...

A Japanese study reveals that bilayer membranes formed from a water-soluble fullerene derivative possess properties very different from those of conventional lipid bilayer membranes such as cell ...

Scientists have created a new structure by encapsulating a single layer of fullerene molecules between two graphene sheets. Buckyball sandwiches combine fullerenes and graphene. This structure allows ...

Scientists from the Skoltech Center for Energy Science and Technology and the Institute of Problems of Chemical Physics of RAS in collaboration with researchers from four other Russian and foreign ...

In this double-blind, randomized, controlled phase II trial, eligible patients with head and neck cancer undergoing radiotherapy were randomly assigned in a 1:1 ratio to receive either fullerene or ...

“Nano–machines” (around one billionth of a meter in size) of the future will need tiny devices to reduce friction and make movement possible. The C60 molecule, also known as fullerene or buckyball, ...

"The findings open new possibilities for designing efficient, metal-free catalysts - which are more sustainable," says Hao Li (WPI-AIMR, Tohoku University), "This work aligns perfectly with global ...

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 ...
