A magnet made from carbon
Article Abstract:
It has been possible to identify spontaneous magnetization in a pure carbon material of polymeric C60, which is magnetic at room temperatures and above. It is suggested that the magnetic moments may arise from defects created by broken fullerene bonds or that some covalent bonds need only one electron.

A dual-action material
Article Abstract:
Chemists have produced a hybrid material that is both an electrical and magnetic conductor. The synthesis of such materials is important in the quest for smaller electronic components.

Magnetic carbon
Article Abstract:
The discovery of strong magnetic signals in rhombohedral C60 is discussed. The material shows large hysteresis, saturation magnetization and attachment to a magnet at room temperature.
