Buckyballs are made up of 60 carbon atoms arranged in patterns of hexagons and pentagons matching a traditional football shape.
(75) In March they began selling the magnets online under the "
Buckyballs" brand.
In the case of dielectric constant [[epsilon].sub.1] ~ 2.4 for the
buckyball, the above-mentioned coefficients lie within the range from -0.4 to -0.9 and decrease with increasing L.
Cells that are exposed to nanostructures called "
buckyballs"
Semeja una "tela metalica" pero por ser miembro de la familia de los fullerenos su origen puede derivar de la expansion de un
buckyball (buckytube) de tamano no mayor de 1 nm.
Buckyballs and nanotubes turned out to have some unique properties not found in other forms of carbon.
Growing knowledge about a molecule postulated in 1985, isolated in 1990, and first imaged in 1991 led to a flood of research on buckminsterfullerene (the "
buckyball," for short), a soccer-ball-shaped molecule named for the inventor of the geodesic dome, another structure it resembles.
The
Buckyball molecule was first discovered at Rice in 1985 and their curvature means they are very effective at binding the amine molecules that capture carbon dioxide.
