When today morning I open my laptop and seen Google homepage, observed a ball revolving in all possible directions. After seeing it, come to know Google is celebrating 25 years of 'Buckyball'. I was not aware of what buckyball is?
As today Google doodle is one among most famous search.I started searching it and after reading from come to know more about the unusual arrangement of molecules known as 'fullerene' which is composed of
carbon in the form of nanotubes, hollow spheres, mega tubes.Spherical arrangement of the carbon molecules is defined as 'Buckyball'.
The Buckminsterfullerine molecule was first discovered 25 years ago by a group of scientists at Rice university, Texas, and named after the architect Richard Buckminster Fuller, noted for
popularizing the geodesic dome.A Buckminsterfullerene molecule is a closed cage structure molecule with carbon network.
The discovery of fullerene because of their unique chemistry expanded their technological application as well as now researched for use in
nanotechnology, electronics & other aspects of science.
really wonderful information on buckyballs indeed these molecules are future molecules
