Fullerene...

I've been surprised a lot!
The fullerene, the soccorball-shaped carbon, is some material for cosmetics! They say this stuff has some anti-oxidant effect...

Do you know fullerene? I learned this material by the chemistry course about four years ago.
(See the shape of fullerene(a Japanese site) --> http://www.mcfullerene.com/world/index.html)

In 2002, the year of World Cup in Japan & Korea, there were lots of fullerene-shaped illuminations in the downtown of Yokohama. What a fantastic view it was! I loved it.

...And now you can put this on your face. Can you believe that?
