C60 Power Celebrates National C60 Day on October 9

C60 Power, a woman owned wellness company specializing in Carbon 60 products for people and animals, celebrates National C60 Day every October 9. Created by C60 Power, the observance falls on the anniversary of October 9, 1996, the day the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences announced the Nobel Prize in Chemistry for the discovery of fullerenes. This year, consumers can enjoy educational events, community stories, and a 20% storewide sale at ShopC60.com.

National C60 Day, also known as National Carbon 60 Day, C60 Day or Carbon 60 Day, recognizes the discovery of C60, also called buckminsterfullerene or a "buckyball." C60 is a hollow, spherical molecule made of exactly 60 carbon atoms arranged in 12 pentagons and 20 hexagons, the same pattern found on a classic soccer ball.

In 1985, British chemist Harold Kroto joined Rice University scientists Robert Curl and Richard Smalley to recreate the chemistry of carbon rich stars in the laboratory, and their experiments revealed C60. Kroto, a longtime admirer of architect R. Buckminster Fuller's geodesic domes helped give the molecule its name in honor of Buckminster.

In 1990, Wolfgang Krätschmer and Donald Huffman developed a method to produce C60 in quantities large enough to study, and the journal Science named buckminsterfullerene its Molecule of the Year for 1991. Curl, Kroto, and Smalley were awarded the 1996 Nobel Prize in Chemistry for their discovery. In 2010, astronomers using NASA's Spitzer Space Telescope detected C60 in Tc 1, a cloud of gas and dust shed by a dying star, the first confirmed sighting of buckyballs in space.

"National C60 Day gives us an opportunity to honor the science that introduced this extraordinary molecule to the world. This holiday may help consumers understand the importance of purity, and 3rd-party testing, along with the opportunity to learn more about the potential of the molecule," said Jessica MacNaughton, CEO and cofounder of C60 Power. "Our goal is to make reliable C60 education more accessible and give people the information they need to make informed choices for themselves and their animals."

Since its discovery, C60 research has expanded into chemistry, materials science, nanotechnology, energy, skincare and wellness. Its ability to interact with free radicals is one reason C60 continues to attract attention in antioxidant research. Interest in C60 and healthy aging grew after a 2012 study reported that rats given C60 dissolved in olive oil lived longer than untreated rats.
