Nanotechnology research, conceptual computer artwork. Spectacles containing buckyball molecules. This might represent investigative research into nanotechnological products such as buckyballs. A buckyball, or buckminsterfullerene, is a structurally distinct form (allotrope) of carbon. It has 60 carbon atoms arranged in a spherical structure consisting of interlinking hexagonal and pentagonal rings. Buckyballs and other fullerenes are being investigated for a wide range of technological and medical uses.
