Researchers already know that buckyballs refuse to dissolve in water, sometimes even floating like miniature beach balls.
研究人员得出足球烯不溶于水，有时甚至会像水皮球一样浮在水面。
The advance could help engineers pack all sorts of spheres more efficiently, from nano-sized buckyballs to Christmas tree ornaments.
这个进步可以使工程师们更加有效的包装各类球形物品，从纳米级的巴克球到圣诞树饰品都适用。
Buckyballs, as they became known colloquially, are football-shaped molecules made of 60 carbon atoms linked by single and double bonds.
富勒烯通常成为巴克球，是一种由60个碳原子以单键和双键相连组成的足球形碳单质。
Putting polar molecules inside buckyballs may influence the chemical behavior of their outsides, and create new molecules with unique properties.
将极性分子放在足球烯中会使得他们的化学性质与在外面的有所不同，并且产生特殊性质的新分子。
Harold Kroto won the Nobel Prize in chemistry in 1996 for the discovery of buckminsterfullerene, the soccer ball shaped form of carbon better known as buckyballs.
Harold Kroto因为发现巴克敏斯特富勒烯，在1996年获得诺贝尔化学奖。巴克敏斯特富勒烯是一种类似足球形状的碳，人们更喜欢叫它巴克球。
Readers could pore over academic papers about the physical properties of buckyballs, but a 16-second animation describes their motion more easily and arguably more thoroughly.
读者们可能在一些学术论文上读到过关于布基球物理特性的描绘，但都不及这16秒的动画来得轻松、真实和彻底。
The cloud of gas and dust behind the buckyballs isn't actually the same nebula where the buckyballs were discovered, but rather a Hubble Space Telescope image of a nearby nebula.
而布基球背后的气体云和尘埃并非是它被发现时所在的同一处星云的结构部分，而是来自于哈勃望远镜所拍摄的附近的某个星云。
Buckyballs, for instance, have a unique spherical structure of atomic bonds that create a hexagon-pentagon structure (like that of a soccer ball) with atoms residing at the vertices.
例如，布基球的原子键是一种独特的球面结构，球面中有六边形也有五边形(就和足球一样)，碳原子位于顶点处。
