A way to determine the toxicity of nanomaterials
03-Nov-2017
Official website of the Russian Science Foundation reports that a group of scientists from Siberian Federal University and Krasnoyarsk Scientific Center of the SB RAS has developed a bioluminescent enzymatic test system for assessing the toxicity of carbon nanomaterials. Its distinctive features ...
Unprecedented view of the diffusion and rotation of fullerene molecules by graphene encapsulation
13-Jun-2017
Carbon is one of the most versatile elements: it forms the basis for an enormous number of chemical compounds, it has several allotropes of different dimensionality, and it exhibits many different bonding geometries. For this reason, carbon materials have had a special place in materials research ...
How fullerite becomes harder than diamond
22-Mar-2017
Physicists have simulated the structure of a new material based on fullerite and single crystal diamond to show how this material can obtain ultrahigh hardness. This discovery allows the estimations the potential conditions for obtaining ultrahard materials. Fullerite generally is a molecular ...
Full(erene) potential
03-Feb-2017
In what could be called a classic "Eureka" moment, UC Santa Barbara materials researchers have discovered a simple yet effective method for mastering the electrical properties of polymer semiconductors. The elegant technique allows for the efficient design and manufacture of organic circuitry ...
Fabrication technique leads to broader sunlight absorption in plastic solar cells
01-Dec-2016
Researchers from North Carolina State University have developed a new strategy for fabricating more efficient plastic solar cells. The work has implications for developing solar cells with a wider absorption range and increased efficiency. As plastic solar cells now rival silicon-based solar ...
Researchers design solids that control heat with spinning superatoms
08-Sep-2016
Researchers found that the thermal conductivity of superatom crystals is directly related to the rotational disorder within those structures. Carnegie Mellon University's Associate Professor of Mechanical Engineering Jonathan A. Malen was a corresponding author of the paper titled "Orientational ...
Superconductivity: footballs with no resistance
Indications of light-induced lossless electricity transmission in fullerenes contribute to the search for superconducting materials
11-Feb-2016
Superconductors have long been confined to niche applications, due to the fact that the highest temperature at which even the best of these materials becomes resistance-free is minus 70 degrees Celsius. Nowadays they are mainly used in magnets for nuclear magnetic resonance tomographs, fusion ...
New guideline for synthesis of fullerene electron acceptors
29-Jan-2016
Organic/polymer solar cells represent the most important direction for green energy in the future. Fullerene electron acceptors have been widely used in organic/polymer solar cells as well as perovskite solar cells. A recent study reveals that the photovoltaic performance can be influenced by ...
Molecular nanoribbons as electronic highways
08-Oct-2015
Physicists at Umeå University have, together with researchers at UC Berkeley, USA, developed a method to synthesise a unique and novel type of material which resembles a graphene nanoribbon but in molecular form. This material could be important for the further development of organic solar ...
Molecular trick alters rules of attraction for non-magnetic metals
07-Aug-2015
Scientists have demonstrated for the first time how to generate magnetism in metals that aren't naturally magnetic, which could end our reliance on some rare and toxic elements currently used. In a study led by the University of Leeds and published today in the journal Nature, researchers detail ...
