The term "buckyball" refers to the molecule fullerene C60, which is shaped like a hollow sphere and resembles a soccer ball. It was named after the architect Buckminster Fuller, who designed geodesic domes that share a similar geometric structure. The name reflects the molecule's unique arrangement of carbon atoms in a manner reminiscent of Fuller’s innovative designs.
