Buckminsterfullerene (C60) is the smallest fullerene molecule that resembles a soccer ball, with carbon atoms at the corners of hexagons and bonds along the edges. It is about 1 nanometer in diameter and is the most common fullerene found in soot. C60 has potential medical and industrial applications. Carbon nanotubes are incredibly strong and flexible cylindrical molecules that could be used in nanotechnology. An egg-shaped fullerene molecule has also been discovered that contains a molecule of triterbium nitride inside.
