BuckyBalls. A totally awesome toy. . .for anyone over the age of 3. I just might have to buy this one.
These enigmatic clusters of carbon atoms have been puzzling scientists
since 1985 when they were discovered in a research laboratory among the
by-products of laser-vaporized graphite. Their hollow spherical structure,
reminiscent of the geodesic domes of eccentric architect Buckminster Fuller,
earned them the names "buckyballs" and "fullerenes."
According to Amazon.com where you can buy the Bucky Ball Kit, by Zometool, for $17.95, discover a molecule so exciting, it's the state molecule of Texas. Named
after R. Buckminster Fuller, inventor of the geodesic dome, "BuckyBall"
is the nickname for a Carbon 60 molecule. Like the faces of a soccer
ball, it has 20 hexagons and 12 pentagons.
