A class of macromolecules based on the architecture of the well-known fullerenes is
theoretically investigated. The building blocks used to geometrically construct these …

Columnar structures, many of which are helical, refer to dense cylindrical packings of
particles. They are ubiquitous, that is, they exist in the contexts of botany, foams, and …

N-heterocyclic carbenes (NHC) s are emerging as an alternative class of molecules to thiol-
based self-assembled monolayers (SAMs), making carbene-based SAMs much more stable …

Small diamond-like particles, diamondoids, have been shown to effectively functionalize
gold electrodes in order to sense DNA units passing between the nanopore-embedded …

Diamondoids are nanoscale diamond-like cage structures with hydrogen terminations,
which can occur in various sizes and with a diverse type of modifications. In this work, we …

The emergence of helicity from the densest possible packings of equal-sized hard spheres
in narrow cylindrical confinement can be understood in terms of a density maximization of …

A lot of focus has been laid on the studies of carbon-related materials (CRMs). Owing to self-
lubricating properties, high strength, high density, high hardness, and good electrical …

The discovery of the carbon atom, an element forming the basis of life, had a great impact on
technological development that continues to benefit from its valency that gives this element …

We provide a systematic analytical method for preferable orientation calculations of
spherical fullerenes in single-walled boron nitride nanotubes. Based on the reaction energy …

In this study, we employed classical molecular dynamics to simulate the encapsulation and
examine the dynamical behaviour of an adamantane molecule inside a single-walled …
