Bucky Ball - Geodesic
In 1985, a British astronomer Harold Kroto, and American scientists Richard Smalley and Robert Curl, discovered carbon molecules that held exactly 60 carbon atoms, arranged into a roughly spherical shape. The molecule resembled the futuristic “geodesic” domes invented by Buckminster Fuller in the 1930s. They called the resulting molecule the "buckminsterfullerene."
