Introduction Carbon is a versatile element that occurs naturally in several allotropic forms, such as diamond and graphite. In 1985 a new member joined this family: fullerenes, hollow cage-like carbon molecules built entirely from pentagonal and hexagonal faces. Notable for their symmetric, soccer-ball-like architecture, these molecules opened a new field of research in chemistry, materials science, and nanotechnology from the moment they were discovered. Today, fullerenes find applications acro …
