Formed by having 12 pentagons and 20 hexagons bonded side by side, in which no two pentagons share an edge, the Buckminsterfullerene (or “Buckyball”) is both scientifically significant and asthetically appealing.
The “buckyball” has been widely used in architectual projects as being the “shape that encompasses the most space with the least structural support”, in addition to blending in most landscapes and being pleasing to the eye.
In sports, the “buckyball” is the most commonly used design for modern soccer balls.
