Fullerene: A Ball That Shoots Single Photons ⚡ экспресс
Original: "C60 fullerene as an on-demand single photon source at room temperature"
Carbon-60 molecules embedded in ordinary plastic turn it into a reliable source of single photons at room temperature.

Imagine a tap that drips not water, but light strictly one photon at a time. Fullerene — a carbon ball in plain plastic — does this at room temperature. Cheap and cheerful: quantum communication leaves the lab and enters everyday life.
🎯 Fullerene C60 was predicted long before synthesis and even occurs in nature — for example, in candle soot.
