Buckminsterfullerene or Buckyball C60 #4

Buckminsterfullerene is a form (allotrope) of carbon. Sixty carbon atoms are arranged in a sphere (actually at the vertices of a truncated icosahedron). Fullerenes have rather exotic properties and these hollow balls of carbon atoms are likely to have many uses.
