UPDATE Nov 2010: HYFNs have been approved for manufacturing as Fullerene Water Solution (FWS) drink in Ukraine by the Ministry of Health as of Nov 2010. It's the first nanotech based health drink in the world. For information about availability contact me privately by email.
I received this updated list of research directions and activities surrounding hydrated fullerenes (C60) otherwise known as water soluble bucky balls, from my colleagues in Ukraine,who discovered and patented hydrated fullerenes (HyFn's) in the 1990's. They are looking for business and academic research collaborators around the world.
