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 ...

(Phys.org)—Researchers from Kyoto University have, for the first time, isolated a water dimer. Using a technique known as molecular surgery, they encapsulated the dimer within a fullerene-C70 molecule ...

However, because the fullerene nanowhisker superconductor obtained in this research is lightweight, has a fine fiber-like shape from the initial stage, and maintains that fine, fibrous shape even ...

Researchers have gained new insights into the unique chemical properties of spherical molecules composed entirely of carbon atoms, called fullerenes. They did it by making flat fragments of the ...

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 ...

"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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Fullerene, Käfigmoleküle aus reinem Kohlenstoff, entstehen immer dann, wenn Graphit genug Energie zugeführt wird, um Atome aus dem Gitter des Schichtmaterials herauszureißen. Die nur wenige Atome ...

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 ...
