Owners of Buckyballs and Buckycubes desk magnets are eligible for refunds if they return the products, the Consumer Product Safety Commission said Thursday. In the spring of 2012, CPSC sued Maxfield & ...

Portland, Ore. — Nanotechnologists have performed theoretical calculations predicting that buckyballs, a common nanoparticle, could disrupt the functioning of deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA). These ...

The key to nanotechnology may not be making tiny structures out of individual molecules. It may be forcing those structures to build themselves. And scientists appear to have found a way to make that ...

WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. - Research at Purdue University suggests synthetic carbon molecules called fullerenes, or buckyballs, have a high potential of being accumulated in animal tissue, but the ...

The discovery of Buckyballs, a new form of carbon that ushered in the era of nanotechnology and won a Nobel Prize, happened largely by accident. In 1985, Rice University chemists Robert Curl and ...

The Consumer Product Safety Commission has just banned the sale of Buckyballs, those magic magnets that can be shaped any which way, because the balls are a serious health hazard for children. It’s ...

Astronomers using the Spitzer Space Telescope have detected solid buckyballs about 6,500 light years from Earth. NASA has announced that astronomers using the Spitzer Space Telescope have found solid ...

Researchers at Carnegie Science have developed an ultrahard diamond glass. Made entirely of crushed “soccerballs” of carbon, the new material also has high thermal conductivity and could find use in ...

Observations made with NASA’s Spitzer Space Telescope have provided surprises concerning the presence of buckminsterfullerenes, or “buckyballs,” the largest known molecules in space. A study of R ...
