All-Carbon Solar Cell Harnesses NIR Light
CAMBRIDGE, Mass., June 22, 2012 — A new all-carbon solar cell developed by MIT taps into near-IR light, a region that is completely unused by today’s solar systems but represents about 40 percent of the solar energy reaching Earth’s surface.
“Sweet spot” could help bring organic solar cells to market
Jun 1, 2012 — A better fundamental understanding of how to optimize performance in organic solar cells could bring this type of cell closer to market. Prototype solar cells made of organic materials currently lag far behind conventional silicon-based...
Sweet Spot Found in Organic Solar Cells
GAITHERSBURG, Md., March 8, 2012 — A better fundamental understanding of how to optimize a cell’s performance could bring organic solar cells a step closer to market.
IR Telescope Images Buckyballs in Space
WASHINGTON, Oct. 28 , 2010 — Using NASA’s Spitzer Space Telescope, astronomers have discovered an enormous amount of buckyballs in space. They used the infrared observatory to find the little carbon spheres throughout the Milky Way galaxy — in the space between...
Buckyballs in Space
WASHINGTON, July 23, 2010 — Astronomers using NASA’s Spitzer Space Telescope to analyze infrared light from a planetary nebula, have discovered spectral signatures of carbon molecules, known as "buckyballs," in space for the first time. Buckyballs are soccer-ball-shaped...
Cool Nanocar Rolled Out
HOUSTON, Texas, Feb. 4, 2009 – The drivers of Rice University's nanocars were surprised to find modified versions of their creation have the ability to roll at room temperature. While practical applications for the tiny machines may be years away, the breakthrough suggests...
New Technique Brings Flexible Electronics Closer to Reality
LOS ANGELES and STANFORD, Calif., Dec. 13, 2006 -- Researchers have devised a method for printing patterns of high-performance organic single-crystal transistors on surfaces such as silicon wafers and flexible plastic, which could enable fast, bendable electronics such as low-cost sensors on product...
Scientists Turn Graphite into Graphene
EVANSTON, Ill., July 24, 2006 -- Researchers have developed a way to turn graphite into graphene, one-atom-thick sheets of carbon that can be mixed into other materials such as glass and ceramics to manipulate properties such as strength and thermal conductivity. The method,...
'Gold Cage' Analog to Buckyball Found
RICHLAND, Wash., May 16, 2006 – Scientists have uncovered a class of gold atom clusters that are the first known metallic hollow equivalents of the famous hollow carbon fullerenes known as buckyballs. The researchers believe that what they call “hollow golden cages” can be used to...
Engineers Question 'Buckyball' Safety
Dec 9, 2005 — NASHVILLE, Tenn., Dec. 9 -- Buckyballs, pure carbon nanoparticles shaped like soccerballs, have shown promise as components of fuel cells, drug delivery systems and cosmetics that delay aging since their discovery in 1985. But in a newly published...

Daily News Briefs
Mar 30, 2005 — Frontier Carbon Corp. America (FCCA), established in December by Frontier Carbon Corp. (FCC), of Tokyo, announced it has begun production of fullerene materials in the US. Fullerenes are large carbon molecules with unique properties that are...
Daily News Briefs
Oct 28, 2004 — Molecular Imprints Inc. (MII), an Austin, Texas-based manufacturer of step-and-flash imprint lithography equipment, has opened an office in Tokyo (Molecular Imprints Japan) to offer technology and applications support for regional customers. The...
Buckyballs Enhance Third-Order Optical Nonlinearity
Oct 1, 2003 — Scientists at the University of Toronto and at Carleton University in Ottawa have produced polyurethane optical films containing buckyballs that exhibit third-order optical nonlinearity at near-IR telecommunications wavelengths up to 100 times...
Researchers Count on Buckyballs to Create Tiny 'Abacus' for Processing
Dec 1, 1996 — Scientists at IBM Zurich in Switzerland have used a scanning tunneling microscope probe to reposition C-60 molecules, or "buckyballs," on a copper substrate, producing a room-temperature device that can store and manipulate numbers at a single...
