Buckminsterfullerene
Buckyball. Computer graphic of a buckyball (Buckminsterfullerene, C60) molecule. The green spheres represent carbon atoms whilst the lines represent the bonds between them. The bonds link the atoms in pentagons and hexagons to form a football-shaped sphere. Buckminsterfullerene was discovered in 1985. It was the first of a range of spherical fullerenes to be found. Fullerenes are a structural form (allotrope) of the element carbon. Fullerenes have novel physical and chemical properties which can be exploited to produce new catalysts, lubricants and superconductors

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate beauty of Buckminsterfullerene, also known as a Buckyball. Created through computer graphics, this image depicts a molecular structure consisting of carbon atoms represented by vibrant green spheres connected by lines symbolizing their bonds. The arrangement forms an enchanting football-shaped sphere composed of pentagons and hexagons. Discovered in 1985, Buckminsterfullerene was the first among various spherical fullerenes to be found. These unique structures are a distinct form or allotrope of carbon with extraordinary physical and chemical properties. Scientists have harnessed these properties to develop innovative catalysts, lubricants, and superconductors. The significance of this image lies not only in its aesthetic appeal but also in its representation of cutting-edge chemistry research. By exploring the molecular world through graphic representations like this one, scientists gain valuable insights into the behavior and potential applications of compounds such as fullerene C60. As we delve deeper into understanding organic compounds, images like this serve as visual gateways to comprehend complex concepts within chemistry. This particular photograph from Science Photo Library encapsulates the essence of buckyballs - their symmetrical elegance combined with their potential for groundbreaking advancements in various fields without mentioning any commercial use associated with them.
