buckyballs
¦ plural noun Chemistry, informal spherical molecules of a fullerene, especially buckminsterfullerene.
buckminsterfullerene
[?b?km?nst?'f?l?ri:n]
¦ noun Chemistry a form of carbon having molecules of 60 atoms arranged in a polyhedron resembling a geodesic sphere. See also fullerene.
Origin
1980s: named after the American designer and architect Richard Buckminster Fuller.
Buckyball (disambiguation)
A buckyball or buckminsterfullerene is a molecule resembling a soccer ball composed of 60 carbon atoms.
Wikipedia
Buckminsterfullerene
Buckminsterfullerene is a type of fullerene with the formula C60. It has a cage-like fused-ring structure (truncated icosahedron) made of twenty hexagons and twelve pentagons, and resembles a soccer ball. Each of its 60 carbon atoms is bonded to its three neighbors.
Buckminsterfullerene is a black solid that dissolves in hydrocarbon solvents to produce a violet solution. The compound was discovered in 1985 and has received intense study, although few real world applications have been found.
Examples of use of buckyballs
1. For all of the nanomaterials except buckyballs, latent risk scores were comparable to those of silicon wafers, wine and aspirin production.
2. Buckyballs had a latent score comparable to car battery and plastics production and considerably lower than the score for petroleum refining.
3. The original carbon buckyballs (geodesic shapes invented by Buckminster Fuller) sapped the energy directly from the motor before the paddle could flip.
4. Microscopic footballs Harry Kroto at Sussex University, and his US collaborators, revealed that carbon can exist as tiny spherical molecules, now known as fullerenes or buckyballs.
5. Buckyballs had the highest incident risk rating among nanomaterials and scored near the risks associated with producing polyolefins, a broad class of polymers like polyethylene that are used in making plastics.
