Fullerene, also called buckminsterfullerene, any of a series of hollow carbon molecules that form either a closed cage or a cylinder. The fullerenes, particularly the highly symmetrical C60 sphere, have a beauty and elegance that excites the imagination of scientists and nonscientists alike, as they bridge aesthetic gaps between the sciences, architecture, mathematics, engineering, and the visual arts. They are excellent conductors of heat and electricity, and they possess an astonishing tensile strength. Such properties hold the promise of exciting applications in electronics, structural materials, and medicine. Practical applications, however, will only be realized when accurate structural control has been achieved over the synthesis of these new materials. Particularly interesting in fullerene chemistry are the so-called endohedral species, in which a metal atom is physically trapped inside a fullerene cage.
