- Buckminsterfullerene: a spheroidal fullerene; the first known example of a fullerene
- Buckminsterfullerene (C60) is a spherical molecule with the formula C60. It was first prepared in 1985 by Harold Kroto, James Heath, Sean O'Brien, Robert Curl and Richard Smalley at Rice University. ...
- (buckyballs) Aka fullerenes. Aka Buckminister fullerenes. Carbon molecules composed of beautifully arranged carbon atoms. The most familiar buckyball has a sort of soccer ball like lattice. Buckyballs have exceptional properties, such as high strength and high friction reduction. ...
- Is a natural occurring type of carbon recognized as C60. The molecular structure looks like the geodesic domes designed by Buckminster Fuller.
- Geodesic spheres named for visionary engineer R. Buckminster Fuller, inventor of the geodesic sphere. Buckyballs are strong, rigid natural molecules arranged in a series of interlocking hexagonal shapes, forming structures that resemble soccer balls. ...
