Graphene May Help Explain the Big Bang

According to investigators at the University of California in Berkeley (UCB), it would appear that studying the 2d carbon compound graphene might help us get a better understanding of what went on during the Big Bang. This was the event that “exploded” the Universe into being. At the same time, the materi...

Experts Learn to Insert Radio-Active Atoms Inside Fullerenes Remotely

A lot of people have thankfully heard of carbon nanotubes in recent years, and most of them know that they are incredibly small constructs, built at the nanoscale, and which are made of single layers of carbon atoms, stuck together in the shape of tubes. But not many people know that these tubes, also known as buckyt...

New Nanomaterial Forms Nanobuds

The fullerenes, discovered in 1985 by researchers at Rice University, are a family of carbon allotropes named after Richard Buckminster Fuller and are sometimes called bucky balls. They are molecules composed entirely of carbon, in the form of a hollow sphere or ellipsoid.A carbon nanotube is a one-atom thick sheet ...
