Definitions for "Fullerenes"
Fullerenes are a molecular form of pure carbon discovered in 1985. They are cage-like structures of carbon atoms, the most abundant form produced is buckminsterfullerene (C60), with 60 carbon atoms arranged in a spherical structure. There are larger fullerenes containing from 70 to 500 carbon atoms. [Wid] What are fullerenes? A very good explanation, even though some of the translation is a bit rough.

Healing, antioxidant, highly effective carrier. From carbon.
A spherical carbon molecule in which the carbon atoms are arranged in a soccer ball shape. C60 was the first fullerene of the now thirty or more fullerene families. In a C60 structure, there are 60 carbon atoms and a number of five-membered rings isolated by six-membered rings.
