Gold buckyballs, oft-used nanoparticle ‘seeds’ are one and the same
Rice lab discovers commonly used nanoparticles are cousins of original buckyballs

Rice University chemists have discovered that tiny gold “seed” particles, a key ingredient in one of the most common nanoparticle recipes, are one and the same as gold buckyballs, 32-atom spherical molecules that are cousins of the carbon buckyballs discovered at Rice in 1985.
