Wire-Frame Bucky Ball
Architect Richard Buckminster Fuller (1895-1983) invented various
geometric structures based on triangles,
called geodesic domes. In complete closed form as a polyhedron they are
sometimes called "bucky balls". In 1990 chemists succeeded in making
useful quantities of molecules in which 60 carbon atoms are arranged
in such a structure. They are
called "fullerenes", "buckminsterfullerenes" or "compound C60". See

I never got a chance to ask Bob what if any significance the name "Plesch" has
in relation to this picture. Does anyone know?
