What is Fullerene C60?
C60 stands for "Carbon 60." The number denotes the count of carbon atoms bonded together to form a specific molecule known as a fullerene. More precisely, this structure is called Buckminsterfullerene, commonly nicknamed "buckyballs."
This peculiar name pays tribute to the scientist and architect Buckminster Fuller. He frequently incorporated geodesic domes—similar to those seen in botanical gardens—into his architectural designs. The newly discovered molecules bore a striking resemblance to these domes, leading to the molecule being named in his honor.
Origin of C60
C60 is a synthetic molecule created in a laboratory from graphite. Scientists vaporize graphite, allowing the carbon atoms to form new bonds and rearrange themselves into the shape of a soccer ball.

Fat-Soluble vs. Water-Soluble Forms
It is crucial to differentiate between fat-soluble C60 and water-soluble C60. Studies on mice showed that those administered water-soluble Carboxyl C60 experienced an increase in lifespan from 120 to 128 days—a modest 6.67% gain. In contrast, regular C60 dissolved in olive oil nearly doubled the mice's lifespan.
