Abstract
Review: The discovery of novel carbon-based nanoparticles was spurred by the discovery of the buckminsterfullerene molecule in 1985. In this review multi- and single-walled nanotubes (see Figure for a comical r epresentation of nanotube connectors and tripods), carbon onions, and carbon-encapsulated nanoparticles are covered. The interrelationships between the various nanostructures the traditional forms of carbon are also explored.
