Scientists observed unique ergodicity-breaking behaviors in the C60 molecule’s rotations without breaking symmetry using advanced infrared spectroscopy. This discovery offers new insights into quantum system…
The notion that fullerene and its derivatives could naturally occur in the universe has been speculated for quite some time. These compounds are sizable carbon…
A unique carbon molecule has been found to possess the ability to operate as multiple high-speed switches at once. An international team of researchers, including…
Russian scientists have synthesized a new ultra-hard material containing scandium and carbon. It consists of polymerized fullerene molecules with scandium and carbon atoms inside. The…
It is the hardest known glass with the highest thermal conductivity among all glass materials. Carnegie’s Yingwei Fei and Lin Wang were part of an…
Fullerenes were first discovered by Harry Kroto in the 1970s, a feat for which he and his colleagues Robert Curl and Richard Smalley received a…
