Where does the name Buckyballs come from?
The name Buckyballs is a nod to Buckminster “Bucky” Fuller, a famous architectural-type best known for the geodesic dome (a sphere made of triangles). It’s a fun shape to make with Buckyballs. FUN FACT: The Carbon 60, one of the strongest atomic structures known to man, are sometimes called Fullerenes. They too were named after Fuller for their similarity to geodesic domes.
