Carbon Adsorbents and Fullerenes for Water Disinfection

Carbon Adsorbents and Fullerenes for Water Disinfection A research study published in Journal of Water Chemistry and Technology in 2015 by Mel’nyk et al. examines the ability of activated carbon and C60/C70 fullerenes to disinfect water by killing harmful microorganisms. The study shows that combining fullerenes with activated carbon enhances its bacteria-killing power without affecting […]

Carboxyfullerene as a Potential Treatment for Group A Streptococcus Infections

Carboxyfullerene as a Potential Treatment for Group A Streptococcus Infections A research study published in Antimicrobial Agents and Chemotherapy in 2005 by Tsao et al. explores the use of carboxyfullerene, a water-soluble fullerene derivative, to combat infections caused by Streptococcus pyogenes (Group A Streptococcus, or GAS). The study demonstrates that carboxyfullerene can protect against GAS […]
