Buckminsterfullerene was first discovered in 1985 by a research team from Rice and Sussex University and was named after the American architect Buckminster Fuller due to its structural similarity to a ...

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 ...

Could buckyballs be holding new quantum mysteries, which unlock their potential for quantum information science? That’s what theoretical physicist Timur Tscherbul from the University of Nevada, Reno ...

Buckybomb shows potential power of nanoscale explosives (Phys.org)—Scientists have simulated the explosion of a modified buckminsterfullerene molecule (C60), better known as a buckyball, and shown ...

Buckyballs are the rule-breakers of chemistry. These strange molecules are made up of 60 carbon atoms, fused together in a soccer-ball shape. For years, scientists assumed they could only be made in ...

An account written in homage to Akira Kurosawa. When a convoluted event occurs, “Rashomon” factors occasionally apply in that some contributions do not appear to fit well together. The film Rashomon ...
