Fullerene

Hollow carbon cage molecules for drug delivery, superconductivity, and advanced materials
Back to HorizonsView interactive version

Fullerenes are carbon molecules in cage structures—buckminsterfullerene (C60) is the most common. Applications include drug delivery, superconductivity, and programmable matter. Experiments and diffusion; limited commercialization. Research continues into functionalization, composite materials, and biomedical applications.

Scan Fullerene for yourself.

Signals turns a topic into a sourced research record you can inspect and rerun. Your first scan is free, and this one starts with Fullerene already loaded, so edit it or scan as is.
