Sentences with phrase «fullerenes from»

Not exact matches

Experts say the new fullerene, described in tomorrow's issue of Nature, may be easier to fashion into everything from high - temperature superconductors to high - strength materials.

Single - wall fullerene nanotubes were converted from nearly endless, highly tangled ropes into short, open - ended pipes that behave as individual macromolecules.

The fullerene cages prevent water molecules from freezing, meaning that the hydrogen atoms continue to spin and conversion is still able to occur.

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.

Even the fullerene tracers that were once warmly received have come under attack, because geochemist Ken Farley of Caltech in Pasadena found no helium in P - T rocks from Meishan when he tried to replicate Becker's work.

Becker next succeeded in isolating fullerene molecules directly from meteorites.

I've been experimenting with T10 dextran coated iron oxide nanoparticles, obviously not the same as fullerenes, but still a very interesting tool, I've been testing if the coating is giving the particle antioxidant abilities because of it's the (basically) indigestable sugar chains (glucose) creating a high surface area which are largely made from hydroxyl groups, I hypothesised this act's as a «sink» for reactive oxygen species converting them to water.

The telltale fullerenes containing helium and argon were extracted from sites where the Permian - Triassic boundary layer had been exposed in Japan, China and Hungary.

Becker, L., R.J. Poreda, A.G. Hunt, T.E. Bunch, and M. Rampino, 2001: Impact event at the Permian - Triassic boundary: Evidence from extraterrestrial noble gases in fullerenes.

Although so - called nanomaterials have yet to cause any illnesses or problems in humans, a number of studies have shown that they can be harmful to animals; fullerenes, for example, were found to cause oxidative stress in the brains of largemouth bass in a recent study done by researchers from three different institutions.
