ANNIVERSARY BUCKYBALL YANG KE-25

Buckyball? Apa tu?

Aku pun tak tahu sebenarnya, tapi ini yang aku dapat dari research aku selama 15 minit..Aku pon tak tahu nak ceritakan macam mana, so, korang baca la artikel asal..

"It is the roundest and most symmetrical large molecule known to man. Buckministerfullerine continues to astonish with one amazing property after another. Named after American architect R. Buckminister Fuller who designed a geodesic dome with the same fundamental symmetry, C60 is the third major form of pure carbon; graphite and diamond are the other two."

"The buckyball, being the roundest of round molecules, is also quite resistant to high speed collisions. In fact, the buckyball can withstand slamming into a stainless steel plate at 15,000 mph, merely bouncing back, unharmed. When compressed to 70 percent of its original size, the buckyball becomes more than twice as hard as its cousin, diamond.
