Thank you James for offering this forum.

I am full of wonder and intrigue at the beauty of nano geometry.

I would like to ask members of the forum if they believe it is possible
to create an interconnected double wall buckyball so that the inner
ball could be geometrically connected to the outer ball by atoms
other than carbon?

If it were possible, which element's atoms might be able to interact
with carbon?

Could an atom with a square or four sided structure be able to fit the
part?

This question also can be applied to nanotubes.

Am I correct in thinking that nanotubes could not be described as
flexible?

If they were....... would it be more advantageous to nano technology?
