The success of the buckyball at Rice University 25 years ago has earned its place of discovery, room 337 in the university’s Space Science Building, renown as a national historic chemical landmark.

Astronomers have discovered bucket loads of buckyballs in space. They used NASA’s Spitzer Space Telescope to find the little carbon spheres throughout our Milky Way galaxy — in the space between stars ...

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 spheres that are cousins of ...

In research that has all the makings of a blockbuster movie — with interstellar chemistry, million-year timescales, and high-powered lasers — Princeton chemists are expanding our understanding of the ...

WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. - Even large amounts of manufactured nanoparticles, also known as Buckyballs, don't faze microscopic organisms that are charged with cleaning up the environment, according to ...

HOUSTON, June 22, 2005 -- In some of the first research to probe how buckyballs will interact with natural ecosystems, Rice University's Center for Biological and Environmental Nanotechnology finds ...

A new spherical form of carbon, smaller than the famous carbon buckyball discovered nearly 20 years ago, has been made by Chinese scientists. Su-Yuan Xie of Xiamen University and colleagues report in ...

PASADENA, Calif. – Astronomers using NASA’s Spitzer Space Telescope have discovered carbon molecules, known as “buckyballs,” in space for the first time. Buckyballs are soccer-ball-shaped molecules ...

The Spitzer infrared telescope discovers solid buckyballs in space for the first time, giving astronomers clues into the nature of matter in deep space. Martin LaMonica is a senior writer covering ...
