Buckyball

A Buckyball, scientifically called a buckminsterfullerene or C60, is a molecule composed of 60 carbon atoms arranged in a spherical shape resembling a soccer ball. These carbon atoms form a hollow, closed structure made up of 20 hexagons and 12 pentagons. Buckyballs are part of a larger family of molecules called fullerenes and are notable for their stability and unique electronic properties. They have potential applications in materials science, electronics, and medicine, including drug delivery and superconductivity. Essentially, a Buckyball is a microscopic, carbon-based cage that exemplifies innovative molecular engineering.
