I need extra credit in my chemistry class to bring my grade up and if I figure out what the figure is I will get some points. Here is the unknown figure...  |

Here is the picture I found on Wiki:
It seems to match... 
Here is the link: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fullerene
You're welcome. |

the more "fundamental" material is graphene: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Graphene
graphene layers can be stacked to form graphite. a single sheet of graphene, though, can be rolled to from what is called a carbon nanotube. a sheet of graphene can also be "balled up" to form a buckyball. |

If you want even more credit look into cylindrical fullerenes as used in carbon nanotubes.

ok, lame jokes done. |

(yes, im not treating that as a joke it was that bad )

Or it might have been kicked about another way and imaged with an stm.
Either way it got us dorks laughing.

More likely to have been moved about by an AFM (atomic force microscopy) tho (what they used from the IBM logo using xenon atoms).
Ive seen examples (dont know if it was real or theoretical) where a functional nano-scale car has been made using 4 buckyballs as wheels.
