Carbon nanotube F007 / 9915
Buckytube. Molecular model of part of the cage structure of a bucky- or nanotube. The spheres represent carbon atoms. In this structure hundreds of atoms form hexagon shapes along a tube. This molecule is one of a class of carbon molecules called fullerenes, discovered in 1985. They have novel physical and chemical properties which can be exploited to make new catalysts, lubricants and superconductors

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate beauty of a carbon nanotube, specifically the F007 / 9915 (Buckytube). The molecular model depicted here represents a part of the cage structure found in bucky- or nanotubes. Each sphere symbolizes a carbon atom, and within this structure, hundreds of atoms come together to form hexagon shapes along the length of the tube. Discovered in 1985, fullerenes like this one belong to a fascinating class of carbon molecules. They possess unique physical and chemical properties that scientists have been able to harness for various applications. This includes creating new catalysts, lubricants, and even superconductors. Set against a striking black background, this artwork beautifully illustrates the complex nature of chemistry at its smallest scale. It highlights how atoms bond together to form compounds with specific molecular structures. Through advancements in nanotechnology and organic chemistry research, these compounds hold immense potential for innovation. Rendered using computer graphics techniques, this image not only captures scientific accuracy but also presents an artistic representation that engages viewers' curiosity about our world's microscopic wonders. Created by PASIEKA/SCIENCE PHOTO LIBRARY, it serves as both an educational tool and an aesthetic masterpiece for those fascinated by the intricacies of molecular science.
