Researchers solved the stability issues of fullerene anodes, paving the way for lithium-ion batteries that charge faster and ...

Fullerene-based dendritic structures coated with 120 sugars can be made in high yields in a relatively short sequence of reactions. The mannosylated compound is shown to inhibit Ebola infection in ...

Research published in the Journal of the American Chemical Society demonstrates a new way to make carbon-based battery ...

Figure 2: Quantum chemical modelling of the four critical stages of fullerene formation from a small graphene flake. A theoretical study exploring the possibility of the transformation of a graphene ...

Molecular recognition and binding are fundamental to biological systems, which is exemplified by the specificity between ...

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 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 ...

Zehn Jahre nach ihrer Entdeckung und fünf Jahre nach ihrer präparativen Zugänglichkeit mangelt es nicht an Stoff für ein Buch über Fullerene. Im Gegenteil: Kaum zuvor gab es über einen Gegenstand der ...

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 ...

Buying cosmetics used to be easy for me. The shallowness in my quest for beauty was matched only by the shallowness with which I chose my cosmetics: How does it smell? Does the bottle look pretty?

This Behind the Scenes article was provided to LiveScience in partnership with the National Science Foundation. After exploring for 25-years, scientists have solved the question of how the iconic ...
