Nanoscience/Nanotechnology

At first there were only two forms of pure carbon known to mankind, graphite and diamonds. Graphite and diamonds have improved technology and outher areas with their properties, such as their strength. Recently however, a new form was found, called bucky balls. It has been around for a long time, but was discovered a little while ago when there was an experiment done on the carbon molecules in space. Scientist used soot (to act as stardust) and added water creating a solution. They let the solution sit over night and then put it under a slide where they witnessed bucky balls being formed.

The bucky ball is the largest symmetrical molecules known in the nanoscience world, and is chemically incredibly stable. The bucky ball is formed from 60 carbon molecules in the shape of a sphere and is made up of twelve hexagons connected to twent
