C60 fullerene

C60 fullerene, also known as buckyballs, is a molecule composed of 60 carbon atoms arranged in a spherical shape resembling a soccer ball. Its structure features a network of hexagons and pentagons, creating a hollow, cage-like form. This unique arrangement gives C60 remarkable properties, such as high stability, electrical conductivity, and the ability to trap other molecules. Discovered in 1985, C60 fullerene has potential applications in materials science, nanotechnology, medicine, and electronics due to its strength, lightweight nature, and versatile chemical properties.
