They find, after a previous study, the combination of
buckyballs and PEI has shown its potential to capture vast amounts of emissions of carbon dioxide, a greenhouse gas, from sources like industrial flue gases and natural-gas wells.
(88) The company responded by removing all "13+" labels on
Buckyballs's product packaging, and also added a new label stating, "Keep Away From All Children," as well as language explaining the hazard of swallowing magnets.
In conclusion, we note that our calculations have shown that the bound state energies of charged particles, localized around nanosized spherical shells such as
buckyballs, maybe adjusted by varying the radius R of the shell.
that
buckyballs would make excellent drug delivery devices.
Tools such as fullerenes, nanotubes,
buckyballs, dendrimers, quantum dots, nanoshells and others are described, considering their current uses and future possibilities.
Other molecules can be encased within the
buckyball's spherical structure, so researchers are looking for ways to use it to deliver diagnostic or therapeutic chemicals to sites within the body.
The team used
buckyballs as crosslinkers between amines, nitrogen-based molecules drawn from polyethyleneimine.
The experiment produced a variety of different sized and shaped carbon molecules although the
buckyball or `C60' structures predominated.
The
buckyball gases also match those found in meteorite samples, as well as gases found in deep soil layers linked to periods of extinction.
Smalley and crew named the molecule "buckminsterfullerene" ("
buckyball," for short), after the geodesic domes of Buckminster Fuller, which they closely resembled.
