Abstract: Bucky balls have attracted considerable attention in different fields of science and technology since, 1985. This article reviews Bucky balls and their persistence in science and technology. Investigations of chemical, physical and biological properties of fullerenes have yielded promising information. Many of the practical applications of Bucky balls follow directly from their extraordinary properties. Relevant chemical, physical, biological and optical properties are assessed, which make Bucky balls essential components for the future of Nano electromechanical systems. This paper explores the molecular structure of these molecules and different synthesis methods used nowadays. Also various potential therapeutic applications of fullerenes have been reviewed in this paper. In many cases, the necessity of building organic compounds leads to the exploration of nanostructures like Bucky balls. These molecules bring to the word engineering flexibility and promising applications in electrical, military and medical fields.
