The dome's structure inspired an explanation of the architecture of human red blood cells, the discovery of fullerene molecules (which take the form of buckyballs and carbon nanotubes), and ways to process data for robotic vision. (discovermagazine.com)
The authors then test their theory using an application based on studying the influence of the confinement of a hydrogen atom in fullerene cages of two different sizes; namely C36 and C60. (sciencedaily.com)
Becker next succeeded in isolating fullerene molecules directly from meteorites. (discovermagazine.com)
