Definition of buckyball in English:

buckyball

noun ˈbʌkɪbɔːlˈbəkēˌbôl

Chemistry

A hollow spherical molecule composed of a large number of carbon atoms.
the active layer is made of buckyballs, carbon molecules that are just 1 nanometer in diameter
Example sentencesExamples
- The early promise of the spherical all-carbon fullerenes, better known to non-chemists as buckyballs, have not yet lived up to their early hype.
- Not only are further studies needed about the environmental effects of buckyballs, but on the buckyballs themselves.
- Also known as fullerenes, buckyballs have recently been touted for their potential applications in everything from drug delivery to energy transmission.
- These elongated relatives of the buckyball can be metallic, semiconducting, or even insulating depending on their helicity and diameter.
- Smalley was the recipient of the 1996 Nobel Prize in chemistry for the discovery of closed, hollow cages of carbon atoms known as buckyballs.

Origin

1980s: from buckminsterfullerene and ball¹.
