Another application that is being tested is the use of bucky balls in fibre optics. Because of the perfect spherical shape that they carry, they are able to transmit light. Polyurethane is added and this creates a thin film on a flat service that light can travel through. bucky ball is a fullerene molecule which is any molecule that is made up entirely of carbon. Specifically, a bucky ball is a spherical fullerene while the cylindrical fullerene is called a carbon nanotube.

It is thought that icariin is an active component of Epimedium extracts, as it has been shown to share several mechanisms of action with compounds used in Western medicine to treat impotence. In particular, icariin is a weak PDE5 inhibitor in vitro and enhances the production of nitric oxide, as well as mimicking the effects of testosterone in rats. In vitro evidence suggests it is a weak antioxidant. It has antidepressant-like effects in mice. It also has neuroprotective effects in rats.
