Not exact matches

A «buckyball» is a three dimensional carbon atom ball — named after the geodesic domes created by Buckminster Fuller and are constructed with a combination of hexagons and pentagons.

Buckyballs were found in space earlier this year in dust shed by a dying star.

Buckyballs, made of 60 carbon atoms arranged in a geodesic sphere — the shape made famous by the inventor — have been found beyond our galaxy, suggesting they abound in space.

Nerve cells threatened by stroke or degenerative diseases may have a surprising new ally — microscopic spheres of carbon called buckyballs.

He discovered carbon 60, which he named buckminsterfullerene — buckyballs for short — because the molecule carries the structure of geodesic domes created by Buckminster Fuller.

They first isolated a buckyball on a metal surface with a scanning tunneling microscope (STM), which images the atomic contours of a surface by measuring changes in the electrical current that travels between the surface and an ultrasharp tip that scans across it.

To get a more realistic read, he and his co-workers treated soil from a cornfield run by the university with either a solution of buckyballs, yielding a dose of one part per million in the soil, or with dry buckyballs for a concentration of a thousand parts per million.

The buckyballs cut neuron death by 75 %.

Mice who received the modified buckyballs had their symptoms delayed by 10 days and survived 8 to 10 days longer than untreated mice.

Buckyballs are dense enough to be seen by a TEM, but DNA isn't.

Although it's unclear just how the damage occurs, one possibility is that the buckyball nanocrystals enter the brain via olfactory neurons, a route traveled by other small particles.

Oscar Céspedes, a condensed matter physicist at the University of Leeds in England, and colleagues tried to remedy that by stacking metal films and sheets of buckyballs, which tend to steal

Then in 1991, while studying the unique atomic structures called buckyballs, which are created by electrically charging carbon soot, Sumio Iijima of Meijo University in Nagoya, Japan, discovered the first nanotubes — fantastically strong cylindrical carbon - atom constructions less than two nanometers wide and of varying lengths.

Until the molecules can be extracted and grown as pure crystals, their buckyball - like structure can not be confirmed by X-ray analysis.

In an exciting extension of this work — proposed by Roger Penrose, the renowned Oxford physicist — not just light but a small mirror that reflects it becomes part of an entangled quantum system, one that is billions of times larger than a buckyball.

In the past few decades we have learned about the soccer - ball - shaped spheres called buckyballs, soon followed by the microscopic rolls of chicken wire we know as carbon nanotubes.

However, this did not happen, so confirming that trapped buckyballs were stabilising the VPI - 5 structure by keeping the pores open.

The researchers burnt off any buckyball clusters that might have survived on the VPI - 5 surface and so affect the composite's optical properties, by heating it to 130 degreeC in air.

Buckyballs The geodesic dome was patented by American mathematician, inventor, and architect Buckminster Fuller.

In August 2005, the scientists reported that they created this compound by compressing buckyballs — soccer ball - shaped molecules each made of 60 carbon atoms — at 2,200 degrees C and 200 times normal atmospheric pressure, a process that could lend itself to mass production.
