C60, or fullerenes, is a molecule composed of 60 carbon atoms arranged in a spherical shape, resembling a soccer ball. Discovered in 1985, it is part of a larger family of carbon structures known as fullerenes, which can have various shapes and sizes. C60 is notable for its unique properties, including high stability and the ability to conduct electricity. Researchers are exploring the potential applications of C60 in fields such as nanotechnology, medicine, and materials science. Its unique structure may allow it to be used in drug delivery systems, as well as in the development of new materials with enhanced strength and conductivity.
