Buckey ball

The third allotropic form of carbon is buckminsterfullerene, affectionately called the buckey ball. The buckey ball consists of sixty carbon atoms in the shape of a soccer ball. Discovered in the 1980s, buckminsterfullerene was named for Buckminster Fuller, who used such shapes in the design of geodesic domes. [Pg.296]
