"Joseph Hughes, Ph.D., an environmental engineer at Georgia Tech and lead author of a study and his collaborators at Rice University in Texas have found that buckyballs �nano-C60� that are about 10 orders of magnitude more soluble in water than the individual carbon molecules.
In this new experiment, they exposed nano-C60 to two types of common soil bacteria and found that the particles inhibited both the growth and respiration of the bacteria at very low concentrations � as little as 0.5 parts per million. "
As in other regards, properties like solubility are substantially different from bulk carbon like carbon black or graphite.
