Thank you. en.wikipedia.org A fullerene is any molecule composed entirely of carbon, in the form of a hollow sphere, ellipsoid, or tube. Spherical fullerenes are also called buckyballs, and cylindrical ones are called carbon nanotubes or buckytubes. Fullerenes are similar in structure to graphite, which is composed of stacked graphene sheets of linked hexagonal rings; but they may also contain pentagonal (or sometimes heptagonal) rings.[1] The first fullerene to be discovered, and the family's namesake, buckminsterfullerene (C60), was prepared in 1985 by Richard Smalley, Robert Curl, James Heath, Sean O'Brien, and Harold Kroto at Rice University. The name was an homage to Buckminster Fuller, whose geodesic domes it resembles. www.sciencefriday.com Happy Birthday, Buckyballs! The structure of C60, buckminsterfullerene. Twenty-five years ago this month, researchers first identified buckminsterfullerenes -- chemical structures shaped like tiny carbon soccer balls. The scientists had discovered an new form of carbon, separate from graphite or diamond. The work went on to earn Robert Curl, Richard Smalley, and Harold Kroto the Nobel Prize. We'll talk with Dr. Kroto about the discovery and what's been learned about fullerenes since then.

C60, The Buckminsterfullerene
C60, The Buckminsterfullerene
The first fullerene to be discovered, and the family's namesake, was buckminsterfullerene C60, made in 1985 by Robert Curl, Harold Kroto and Richard Smalley. The name was an homage to Richard Buckminster Fuller, whose geodesic domes it resembles. Fullerenes have since been found to occur (if rarely) in nature. The discovery of fullerenes greatly expanded the number of known carbon allotropes, which until recently were limited to graphite, diamond, and amorphous carbon such as soot and charcoal. Buckyballs and buckytubes have been the subject of intense research, both for their unique chemistry and for their technological applications, especially in materials science, electronics, and nanotechnology.

Buckyballs detected in nebula
Buckyballs detected in nebula
It took a while, but researchers in Canada and California have found something akin to what Harry Kroto was looking for at Rice all those years ago: Buckyballs in space! Don't get the wrong idea -- this has nothing to do with Mel Brooks. Analysis of planetary nebula Tc1, the remains of a star about 6000 light years away, showed a distinct spectral signature for carbon-60 buckminsterfullerenes, the carbon molecule discovered by the Nobel Prize-winning team of Kroto, Richard Smalley and Robert Curl, University Professor Emeritus and the Kenneth S. Pitzer-Schlumberger Professor Emeritus of Natural Sciences, in Smalley's Rice lab 25 years ago.
