A study published in tomorrow's Proceedings of the American Academy of Sciences describes how modified
buckyballs — which soak up nerve - destroying chemicals — delay the onset of symptoms in mice suffering
from Lou Gehrig's disease.
When Joachim and Gimzewski moved the STM tip down, slightly flattening their
buckyball, the molecule's electrical resistance dropped 100-fold, allowing the current to flow more easily
from the STM tip to the metal surface.
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 for a concentration of a thousand parts per million.
Today, fullerenes — which are popularly known as
buckyballs — are being investigated for everything
from new superconductors and three - dimensional polymers, to catalysts and optical materials, although they have yet to spawn any commercial applications.
The result
from the XFEL experiments on
Buckyballs, however, was not at all what scientists expected.
The team exposed a sample of crystals, known as Buckminsterfullerene or
Buckyballs, to intense light emitted
from the world's first hard X-ray free electron laser (XFEL), based at Stanford University in the United States.
The Rice lab used
buckyballs as crosslinkers between amines, nitrogen - based molecules drawn
from polyethyleneimine.
That matches what the astronomers saw and, because our solar system arose
from interstellar material, suggests that some of the carbon now in our bodies was once in the form of
buckyballs.

from African art and Pop Art slices
from advertising, with maybe a
