Electron distribution in C60 (buckminsterfullerene) at 1000 kelvin (foreground: diameter, 7.1 angstroms), obtained from quantum molecular dynamics simulations. The colors yellow, green, and blue denote regions of successively greater electron density. The atomic structure of C60 (background) consists of five- and six-membered rings arranged in the shape of a soccer ball. See Editorial, page 1705, and Molecule of the Year, page 1706.
