I have a cargo bay installed in my rocket but I can't find a way to set it for fulerene.
So the only gilded asteroid field is exactly 11 hexes away. With a petrol engine I can only fit 2 fuel tanks if I want a drillcone and cargo because of height, which means I have a distance of 20 tiles (I'd need 22 for the round trip). I can't make liquid hydrogen without the fullerene, can't get to the fullerene without liquid hydrogen.
What do?
So I arrived in the Fullerene C60 system yesterday. You know, visit Rymar's Spa, spoil me a bit, and maybe, just maybe find some abandoned Opinion Pools in the bar as well. When I landed, instead of the receptionist I was greeted with a bit of the laser show and some bullets.
I quickly changed from my SPA suit back to Maverick, packed executioner, tormentor, one spare power regulator, few e-breaches, and tried to figure out what happened there.
After getting rid of a few scavengers and rebooting the power center I figured out that not only this resort, but all resorts in the system were recently targeted by random rouge CMDRs. These actions threw factions in the system into civil unrest / civil war.
So I ask you, dear commanders, can we stabilize the system together? I think we owe it to all the system inhabitants.
^((And I really would like to get my vacation in the space spa.))
I took this, walked outside, and I feel like I have less visual snow. Has anyone else tried c60 before?
Based on the synergistic effect of the higher dielectric property of non-fullerene acceptors and corresponding photoactive films and the energy transfer from donor to acceptor on charge separation of selected non-fullerene-based photovoltaic devices, these results well interpret the high device performance with a tiny driving force, and the intrinsic physical working mechanism on non-fullerene-based photovoltaic devices is proposed.
Abstract
In non-fullerene-based photovoltaic devices, it is unclear how excitons efficiently dissociate into charge carriers under small driving force. Here, we developed a modified method to estimate dielectric constants of PM6 donor and non-fullerene acceptors. Surprisingly, most non-fullerene acceptors and blend films showed higher dielectric constants. Moreover, they exhibited larger dielectric constants differences at the optical frequency. These results are likely bound to reduced exciton binding energy and bimolecular recombination. Besides, the overlap between the emission spectrum of donor and absorption spectra of non-fullerene acceptors allowed the energy transfer from donor to acceptors. Hence, based on the synergistic effect of dielectric property and energy transfer resulting in efficient charge separation, our finding paves an alternative path to elucidate the physical working mechanism in non-fullerene-based photovoltaic devices.

A 1,4‐dihydropyrrolo[3,2‐b]pyrrole‐based tetra‐imidazole ligand and a PdII acceptor were employed to construct a trifacial molecular barrel (1), which acts as an efficient host for fullerenes. The barrel has better binding affinity towards C70 over C60 and predominantly encapsulates C70 from a mixture of C60/C70. In the presence of visible light, C60⊂1 and C70⊂1 show efficient photosensitizing ability for 1O2 generation.
Abstract
Fullerene extracts obtained from fullerene soot lack their real application due to their poor solubility in common solvents and difficulty in purification. Encapsulation of these extracts in a suitable host is an important approach to address these issues. We present a new Pd6 barrel (1), which is composed of three 1,4‐dihydropyrrolo[3,2‐b]pyrrole panels, clipped through six cis‐PdII acceptors. Large open windows and cavity make it an efficient host for a large guest. Favorable interactions between the ligand and fullerene (C60 and C70) allows the barrel to encapsulate fullerene efficiently. Thorough investigation reveals that barrel 1 has a stronger binding affinity towards C70 over C60, resulting in the predominant extraction of C70 from a mixture of the two. Finally, the fullerene encapsulated barrels C60⊂1 and C70⊂1 were found to be efficient for visible‐light‐induced singlet oxygen generation. Such preferential binding of C70 and photosensitizing ability of C60⊂1 and C70⊂1 are noteworthy.

Tetra(piperazino)fullerene (TPFE)-based nanoparticles (NPs), surface-coated with polyethylene glycol (PEG), were engineered. The PEGylation allows the NPs to avoid interactions with mucin glycoproteins and phagocytic uptake by macrophages. After the NPs access the target lung cells, a hypotonic vehicle solution enhances their endocytosis via the osmotically driven regulatory volume effect, thereby providing highly efficient transgene expression.
Abstract
Inhaled gene therapy poses a unique potential of curing chronic lung diseases, which are currently managed primarily by symptomatic treatments. However, it has been challenging to achieve therapeutically relevant gene transfer efficacy in the lung due to the presence of numerous biological delivery barriers. Here, we introduce a simple approach that overcomes both extracellular and cellular barriers to enhance gene transfer efficacy in the lung in vivo. We endowed tetra(piperazino)fullerene epoxide (TPFE)-based nanoparticles with non-adhesive surface polyethylene glycol (PEG) coatings, thereby enabling the nanoparticles to cross the airway mucus gel layer and avoid phagocytic uptake by alveolar macrophages. In parallel, we utilized a hypotonic vehicle to facilitate endocytic uptake of the PEGylated nanoparticles by lung parenchymal cells via the osmotically driven regulatory volume decrease (RVD) mechanism. We demonstrate that this two-pronged delivery strategy provides safe, wide-spread and high-level transgene expression in the lungs of both healthy mice and mice with chronic lung diseases characterized by reinforced delivery barriers.

A curved expanded rosarin and fullerene complex showed magnetic‐field‐dependent charge‐recombination dynamics and triplet‐state population in both low (500 mT) mediated by the hyperfine coupling and Δg mechanisms, respectively. This result leads us to suggest that magnetic fields could be applied to enhance the efficiency of photovoltaics or optoelectronics.
Abstract
Charge‐recombination processes are critical for photovoltaic applications and should be suppressed for efficient charge transport. Here, we report that an applied magnetic field (0–1 T) can be used control the charge‐recombination dynamics in an expanded rosarin‐C60 complex. In the low magnetic field regime (0) that undergoes rapid charge‐recombination to a localized rosarin triplet state. Therefore, we highlight the charge‐recombination rate and the localized triplet state population can be modulated by the magnetic field in charge donor/acceptor non‐covalent complexes.

Abstract: In non‐fullerene‐based photovoltaic devices, it still remains unclear how excitons efficiently dissociate into free charge carriers even under a tiny driving force (tens of meV) with reduced energy loss. Here, dielectric constants of different non‐fullerene‐based solar cells consisting of fluorinated‐thienyl benzodithiophene (BDT‐2F)‐based polymer PM6 as the typical donor, and a selected series of non‐fullerene acceptors were precisely measured by a newly developed method. It was found that most of the non‐fullerene acceptors exhibited higher dielectric constants than fullerene derivatives (PC61BM and PC71BM). The corresponding photoactive films exhibited not only higher dielectric constants but also the larger dielectric constant differences between donor and non‐fullerene acceptors. These would result in lower exciton binding energy and increased charge dissociation possibility with low geminate losses. Additionally, the overlap between the emission spectrum of donor and absorption spectra of non‐fullerene acceptors would allow the resonance energy transfer from donor to the acceptor in these non‐fullerene‐based devices, which was confirmed by investigating the emission spectra of pristine donor (and acceptor) films and corresponding blend films. Such an energy transfer process enhanced the efficient exciton diffusion, promising improved device performance. Therefore, based on the synergistic effect of higher dielectric property and energy transfer on charge separation of selected non‐fullerene‐based photovoltaic devices, these results provided strong hints to interpret efficient charge separation for the high device performance with a tiny driving force. Our work paves another path to elucidate the intrinsic physical working mechanism on non‐fullerene organic solar cells.
