In 1985, three scientists produced a fullerene, named C60, in fewer quantities by vaporizing the graphite in the arc or the laser beam or with an electric current in a low-pressure argon or helium atmosphere. Since then, they have gained significant attention in different fields. The newly found molecule was named by these scientists after Richard Buckminster Fuller, in 1967, he made a dome of shape like the carbon cluster, whereas, in 1970, the possibility of fullerenes existence wa …

A fullerene is the three-dimensional allotrope of carbon shaped like a sphere, tube or ellipsoid with the carbon molecules bound to each other through single and double bonds forming pentagonal and hexagonal fused rings. Due to their π-electrons, fullerenes exhibit interesting phenomena that are easily manipulated by chemical methods. Fullerenes are presented with the empirical formula of Cn to adopt a closed mesh morphology with the most famous member called buckminsterfullerene (som …

Fullerenes are the allotropic form of carbon and a closed convex polyhedra, composed of an even number of carbon atoms. The name fullerene originated from that of Richard Buckminster Fuller (1895-1983), an American engineer, architect, inventor, and writer, known for having discovered the structural principle of tensegrity, it is the property of a structure that stand by the forces of tension and compression. Fuller is also known for his works on the synergetic, his participation in the G …

Fullerene plays a significant role in medicine due to its diverse applications and unique properties. As an active molecule, Fullerene exhibits versatility in various therapeutic areas.One of the primary uses of Fullerene in medicine is its application as an antioxidant. Its high electron affinity allows Fullerene to easily react with radicals, providing potent antioxidant effects. Consequently, Fullerene is utilized as an anti-aging and anti-damage agent in the cosmetic industry. Moreov …
