Fine Art Print : Buckminsterfullerene molecule
Fine Art Prints from Science Photo Library
Buckminsterfullerene molecule
Buckminsterfullerene molecule. Computer graphic of buckminsterfullerene (C60), a structural form (allotrope) of carbon. The carbon (C) atoms (green spheres) are bonded together as pentagon or hexagon structures. These in turn are connected to form the ball structure. The first fullerene was discovered in 1985. Since then, fullerenes have been synthesised that range from 36 to 540 carbon atoms in size. Their novel physical and chemical properties can be exploited to make new catalysts, lubricants and superconductors

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate beauty of a Buckminsterfullerene molecule, also known as C60 or bucky ball. Created through computer graphics, this image vividly depicts the structural form and bonding patterns of this unique carbon allotrope. The green spheres represent carbon atoms that are intricately bonded together in pentagon and hexagon structures, forming an enchanting ball-like shape. Discovered in 1985, fullerenes have since become a fascinating area of study due to their remarkable physical and chemical properties. Scientists have successfully synthesized fullerenes ranging from 36 to 540 carbon atoms in size, opening up endless possibilities for their application in various fields. The synthetic nature of these compounds allows researchers to explore novel applications such as catalysts, lubricants, and superconductors. By harnessing the distinctive characteristics of buckminsterfullerene molecules, scientists can unlock new frontiers in chemistry and materials science. This visually stunning illustration serves as a testament to human ingenuity and our ability to manipulate atomic structures for practical purposes. It reminds us of the vast potential hidden within the microscopic world of molecules and highlights how advancements in technology enable us to visualize complex concepts with precision. Science Photo Library has once again captured an awe-inspiring moment at the intersection of artistry and scientific exploration with this extraordinary image.
