Boron Buckyball Structure Discovered

Nanotechnology was advanced massively after the discovery of the original Buckyball in 1985

Scientists working with different molecular structures of Boron have discovered a configuration that resembles the Buckminsterfullerene, often referred to as the Buckyball, a structure that has become extremely important in the development of nanotechnology. The new material is just as hollow as the Buckball and could also have important implications in the development of nanotech.
