Question

How did buckministerfullerene suport the developement of naontechnology?

Answer 1

given the fact that they are perfect spheres made up of 60 carbon atoms linked together in 12 pentagons and 20 hexagons fitted together like those of  football - this will go long way in nanotech. more refinement and research will yield better output and design that will bring technology into the next higher level.  

fullerene chemistry is perhaps as important as organic chemistry based on the benzene ring. new molecules based on the buckyball enclosing a metal atom have been made and this is another development

proven to be 200 times tougher than any other known fibre by  materials scientists. applications envisaged include using the new molecules as lubricants, semiconductors, and superconductors, and as the starting point for making new drugs.   this is fantastic

Answer 2

For one, they can be used to create nanotubes which have a wide range of applications at the quantum level, including the creation of paper batteries.
