Buckminster fullerene

• Buckminster's fullerene is also known as the bucky ball.
• A bucky ball resembles a sheet of graphene closed to make a hollow ball , but the carbon atoms may be in Pentagons as well as hexagons.
• Bucky balls have potential uses as lubricants with the molecules acting like tiny ball bearings.
• The small size of bucky balls allow them to pass through cell membranes. They might one day deliver medical drug directly for the cells.
