Explore the groundbreaking study on the first giant fullerenes, C240, C540, and C960, revealing their structures through Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM) techniques. Witness the intricate 6- and 10-fold symmetry orientations in electron microscope images. Join Ken McKay, David Wales, and Daniel Ugarte in unraveling the mysteries of these nested giant fullerenes. Witness the only wall atoms interfering with the beam in Iijima's 1980 image, advancing our understanding of these remarkable carbon molecules. Dive into the world of HRTEM simulations and gain new insights into the structural complexities of fullerene giants.
