might be a girls best friend,
but carbon in the form of endohedral fullerene is the most
expensive, created last year by British scientists in an Oxford University lab
it is now made in sufficient quantities for sale, how much is it?
well if you have to ask you can not afford it, to you just £100 million ($150
million) per gram, see I said you could not afford it!, this fullerene, with 60
carbon atoms, is also called Buckminsterfullerene or ‘bucky-ball’ because of
its unusual shape, it has several important applications it is being used to
create a small, portable atomic clock that will be the most accurate
time-keeping system in the world, it could also help make GPS navigation more
accurate to 1mm in self-driving cars, but you had better be quick, the lab
recently made its first sale, 200mcg of the bucky-ball, it went for £22,000.
