TL;DR: In this article, the second and third-order nonlinear optical properties of fullerenes and some of their derivatives are investigated. And Polarizability measurements in N,N-diethylaniline charge transfer complexes are reported.
Abstract: The authors present results on the second- and third-order nonlinear optical properties of fullerenes and some of their derivatives. This is part of their effort to study general nonlinear properties of clusters. Polarizability measurements in fullerenes and in N,N-diethylaniline charge transfer complexes are reported.

TL;DR: These findings represent the first demonstrated physiological adaptation response of bacteria to a manufactured nanomaterial, and they show that response inlipid composition and membrane phase behavior depends on both the nC60 concentration and the cell wall morphology.
Abstract: Several fullerene-based nanomaterials generate reactive oxygen species that can damage cells. In this study, we investigated the effect of buckminsterfullerene (C60) introduced as colloidal aggrega...

TL;DR: In this article, it was shown that nanoparticles of inorganic compounds with a layered structure are unstable against bending and form hollow closed clusters, designated inorganic fullerene-like structures (IF).
Abstract: Using the paradigm of carbon fullerenes, it is shown that nanoparticles of inorganic compounds with a layered structure, like MoS2, are unstable against bending and form hollow closed clusters, designated inorganic fullerene-like structures (IF). The analogy can be extended to similar nanostructures, like nanotubes (NT), nested fullerenes, fullerenes with negative curvature (Schwartzites), etc. Various synthetic routes are described to obtain isolated phases of IF. Pentagons and heptagons are expected to play a primordial role in the folding of these nanostructures but no direct evidence for their presence or their detailed structure exists so far. Depending on the structure of the unit cell of the layered compound, apexes of a different topology, like triangles or rectangles, are believed to be stable elements in IF. Applications of such nanoparticles as solid lubricants in mixtures with lubricating fluids are described.
