The fullerenes are used in synthetic, pharmaceutical and industrial applications, as inhibitor of the HIV protease to make new drug or proteins

• C60 fullerenes are used in cosmetics preparation applicable in halting the process of aging.

• The other type of fullerene C80 can act as a very good MRI contrast agent.

• They can be useful in light emitting diodes (LED), molecular electronics and computing as lubricants, rocket fuel.

• Fullerene C50 show odd magnetic and electronic properties due to its shape being intermediate between a sphere and a disk.

• In diverse area as astrochemistry, superconductivity and materials chemistry/physics, fullerenes have been useful.
