[[Buckminsterfullerene]] is an [[allotrope]] of [[carbon]]; it is the only molecular form, at C<small>₆₀</small>. It was named after the [[geodesic]] architecture of [[Richard Buckminster Fuller]], which it resembled. It is commonly referred to as a "buckyball", in reference to its [[soccer]]-ball-like structure.
