Amazing update. Thank you friend for sharing. I’m just too nervous about putting buckyballs Quoting: Anonymous Coward 76862206 in my body. I found a discussion a few years ago of people involved in the discovery an initial usage- too many unknowns for me, but I rejoice in your wellness. that's interesting.... What is a buckyball (C60) Buckyballs, also called fullerenes, were one of the first nanoparticles discovered. This discovery happened in 1985 by a trio of researchers working out of Rice University named Richard Smalley, Harry Kroto, and Robert Curl. Buckyballs are composed of carbon atoms linked to three other carbon atoms by covalent bonds. However, the carbon atoms are connected in the same pattern of hexagons and pentagons you find on a soccer ball, giving a buckyball the spherical structure as shown in the following figure. [link to www.understandingnano.com (secure)] Bucky balls are only a little different than the flat sheets of carbon atoms we call graphene. I don't have the time or the crayons to explain this to you. Slake Blake |
