The paper is an overview of the present state of research
on fullerenes and carbon nanotubes whose techno-logical applications are
extremely promising. Considerable progress has been made in recent years
in synthe-sizing carbon nanoclusters and nanocomposites whose applications
in engineering, medicine and industry open up new vistas.
