\nFullerenes are allotropes of carbon characterized by their spherical or cage-like structures. The most well-known fullerene is C60, which has a structure resembling a soccer ball. Diamond has a rigid, three-dimensional tetrahedral network structure. Graphite consists of layers of hexagonal carbon rings. Neither diamond nor graphite have discrete, cage-like molecules.

\nFullerenes are molecular allotropes of carbon with characteristic closed cage structures.
\n<\/section>\n
\nFullerenes were discovered in 1985 by Robert Curl, Harold Kroto, and Richard Smalley, who were awarded the Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 1996 for their discovery. They have potential applications in materials science, electronics, and medicine.
