Caption: Buckytube. Computer artwork of a carbon nanotube, also known as a buckytube, showing the hexagonal carbon structure. This is a type of fullerene, a structural type (allotrope) of carbon. Fullerenes, which were first discovered in 1985 can be used as catalysts, lubricants and superconductors.
