Carbon nanotube F007 / 9900
Buckytube. Molecular model of part of the cage structure of a bucky- or nanotube. The spheres represent carbon atoms. In this structure hundreds of atoms form hexagon shapes along a tube. This molecule is one of a class of carbon molecules called fullerenes, discovered in 1985. They have novel physical and chemical properties which can be exploited to make new catalysts, lubricants and superconductors

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate beauty of a carbon nanotube, specifically the F007 / 9900 variant known as Buckytube. The molecular model depicted here represents a section of the cage-like structure that characterizes bucky- or nanotubes. Each sphere in this illustration symbolizes a carbon atom, which forms hundreds of hexagon shapes along the length of the tube. Discovered in 1985, fullerenes like this one belong to a fascinating class of carbon molecules with unique physical and chemical properties. Scientists have harnessed these properties to develop new catalysts, lubricants, and superconductors. This image serves as an artistic representation but holds immense scientific significance within organic chemistry and nanotechnology. Against a striking black background, this artwork effortlessly captures the complex bonds between atoms that make up this remarkable compound. Created using computer graphics, it exemplifies how advancements in technology allow us to visualize molecular structures with incredible precision. The photograph is credited to PASIEKA/SCIENCE PHOTO LIBRARY and offers viewers an opportunity to appreciate both the aesthetic appeal and scientific importance of these extraordinary structures without any commercial context mentioned.
