  2. List of nearest stars - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_nearest_stars

    The Solar System, and the other stars/dwarfs listed here, are currently moving within (or near) the Local Interstellar Cloud, roughly 30 light-years (9.2 pc) across. The Local Interstellar Cloud is, in turn, contained inside the Local Bubble, a cavity in the interstellar medium about 300 light-years (92.0 pc) across.

  3. List of nearest stars by spectral type - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_nearest_stars_by...

    Below there are lists the nearest stars separated by spectral type. The scope of the list is still restricted to the main sequence spectral types: M , K , F , G , A , B and O . It may be later expanded to other types, such as S , D or C .

  4. Fullerene - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fullerene

    Fullerenes had been predicted for some time, but only after their accidental synthesis in 1985 were they detected in nature [3] [4] and outer space. [5] [6] The discovery of fullerenes greatly expanded the number of known allotropes of carbon, which had previously been limited to graphite, diamond, and amorphous carbon such as soot and charcoal.

  5. Stellar classification - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stellar_classification

    Of the main-sequence star types, stars more massive than 1.5 times that of the Sun (spectral types O, B, and A) age too quickly for advanced life to develop (using Earth as a guideline). On the other extreme, dwarfs of less than half the mass of the Sun (spectral type M) are likely to tidally lock planets within their habitable zone, along with ...

    Only very stable fullerenes such as [Sc 3 N] +6 @[C 80] −6 pass through the column unreacted. In Ce 2 @C 80 the two metal atoms exhibit a non-bonded interaction. [4] Since all the six-membered rings in C 80-I h are equal [4] the two encapsulated Ce atoms exhibit a three-dimensional random motion. [5]

  8. Spherical aromaticity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spherical_aromaticity

    In organic chemistry, spherical aromaticity is formally used to describe an unusually stable nature of some spherical compounds such as fullerenes and polyhedral boranes.. In 2000, Andreas Hirsch and coworkers in Erlangen, Germany, formulated a rule to determine when a spherical compound would be aromatic.

  9. Fullerene chemistry - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fullerene_chemistry

    Fullerene or C 60 is soccer-ball-shaped or I h with 12 pentagons and 20 hexagons. According to Euler's theorem these 12 pentagons are required for closure of the carbon network consisting of n hexagons and C 60 is the first stable fullerene because it is the smallest possible to obey this rule.
