Buckminsterfullerene molecule C016 / 8368
Buckminsterfullerene molecule. Computer artwork showing the molecular structure of buckminsterfullerene, a structurally distinct form (allotrope) of carbon that has 60 carbon atoms (spheres) arranged in a spherical structure consisting of interlinking hexagonal and pentagonal rings, like a football. These spherical fullerenes are sometimes referred to as buckyballs

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate beauty of a buckminsterfullerene molecule, also known as a buckyball. Created through computer artwork, it vividly depicts the molecular structure of this unique form of carbon. Composed of 60 carbon atoms arranged in interlinking hexagonal and pentagonal rings, the spherical structure resembles that of a football. Against a pristine white background, each carbon atom is represented by a sphere, forming an elegant symphony within this macromolecule. The illustration captures the essence of chemistry and atomic composition with its precise depiction of bonds between atoms. Buckminsterfullerenes are part of the fascinating world of allotropes - different forms or arrangements that an element can take on. This particular allotrope has gained significant attention due to its distinctive shape and potential applications in various fields such as nanotechnology and materials science. The artist's skillful rendering highlights every detail, allowing viewers to appreciate both the scientific significance and aesthetic appeal found within this molecular masterpiece. It serves as a reminder that even at their smallest scale, molecules possess an inherent elegance worth exploring. Through this mesmerizing artwork by Russell Kightley from Science Photo Library, we are invited to delve into the realm where art meets science – where imagination intertwines with knowledge – all encapsulated within one stunning image.
