I wonder if one could capture an ultracold neutron (energy below 180 neV) inside an equally cold C60 molecule to obtain a composite molecule n@C60. It is known that neutrons with this very low temperature reflect fully off a polished graphite surface, which makes it plausible that a neutron of this low temperature also cannot penetrate between the atoms of a C60 molecule.
