This year marks the 40th anniversary of the groundbreaking discovery of fullerenes by Harold Kroto, Richard Smalley, and Robert Curl—a seminal achievement honored with the 1996 Nobel Prize in Chemistry. To celebrate this milestone and showcase recent advances in fullerene chemistry and its applications across materials science, biomedicine, electronics, catalysis, and beyond, we are delighted to host the Fullerene Ruby Anniversary Symposium from November 14–17, 2025, at Anhui Normal University in Wuhu City, Anhui Province, China.

All fullerene researchers are welcome to join us at Fullerene Ruby Anniversary Symposium. Information regarding abstract submission, registration, and accommodation can all be found in this conference website. Please do not hesitate to contact us if you have any questions.

Sincerely yours,

Prof. Guan-Wu Wang, FCCS
