Carbon nanotube, artwork C016 / 8271
Carbon nanotube. Computer artwork of a carbon nanotube, also known as a buckytube, showing the hexagonal carbon structure. Atoms are represented as spheres and the bonds between them by rods. Nanotubes are a type of fullerene molecule, a structural form (allotrope) of carbon, whose atoms are arranged into interlinking hexagonal and pentagonal rings. Theoretically, a wide range of shapes can be engineered at the molecular level using fullerenes. Such structures could have a wide range of uses in nanotechnology

EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "Carbon nanotube, artwork C016 / 8271" showcases the intricate beauty of a carbon nanotube. The artwork depicts the hexagonal carbon structure of this remarkable molecule, also known as a buckytube. Each atom is represented by a sphere, while the bonds between them are depicted as rods. Carbon nanotubes belong to the fullerene family and possess a unique structural form made up of interlinking hexagonal and pentagonal rings. This molecular arrangement allows for an array of engineered shapes at the molecular level, making them highly versatile in various applications within nanotechnology. The black background enhances the organic feel of this illustration, emphasizing its connection to nature's building blocks. It serves as a reminder that even on such minute scales, atoms and molecules play crucial roles in shaping our world. Created by INDIGO MOLECULAR IMAGES/SCIENCE PHOTO LIBRARY, this stunning print captures both scientific precision and artistic flair. Its detailed portrayal invites viewers to appreciate the elegance hidden within these tiny structures that hold immense potential for advancements in chemistry and materials science. With its focus on carbon's atomic composition and molecular structure, this artwork pays homage to Richard Buckminster Fuller – renowned for his contributions to architecture and design – who inspired the term "buckytube" through his exploration of geodesic domes constructed from similar patterns found in fullerenes. Overall, this image serves as a testament to humanity's ability to manipulate matter at its most fundamental level while
