In 1985, the serendipitous discovery of fullerene triggered the research of carbon structures
into the world of symmetric nanomaterials. Consequently, Robert F. Curl, Harold W. Kroto …

The unique and tunable properties of carbon-based nanomaterials enable new
technologies for identifying and addressing environmental challenges. This review critically …

Nanotechnology has widespread application in agricultural, environmental and industrial
sectors ranging from fabrication of molecular assemblies to microbial array chips. Despite …

One class of carbon nanomaterials is the closed cages known as fullerenes. The first
member to be discovered in 1985 was C60, called “buckminsterfullerene” as its cage …

Among the factors influencing soil quality, biological indicators are reported as critically
important because soil organisms directly influence soil ecosystem processes, especially …

Photodynamic therapy (PDT) employs the combination of nontoxic photosensitizers and
visible light that is absorbed by the chromophore to produce long-lived triplet states that can …

Nanomaterials display novel properties to which most toxicologists have not consciously
been exposed before the advent of their practical use. The same properties, small size and …

Sorption to activated sludge is a major removal mechanism for pollutants, including
manufactured nanoparticles (NPs), in conventional activated sludge wastewater treatment …

The compound C60 was successively predicted, 1, 2 revealed, 3 and prepared in
macroscopic quantities 4 within a 20 year period from 1970 to 1990. This molecule repeats …

The deposition kinetics of fullerene (C60) nanoparticles onto bare silica surfaces and
surfaces precoated with humic acid and alginate are investigated over a range of …
