Fullerenes are named for the architect Buckminster Fuller. If you're not familiar with his story or how his designs influenced us all, here's a link:
Buckminster Fuller Institute.
Especially poignant is the daughter's account of her father's promise fulfilled at her mother's deathbed.

Fuller and his beloved Anne died within 36 hours of each other. And he suffered his fatal massive heart attack at her hospital bedside, hoping that the near-comatose Anne was responding to him by squeezing his hand. Sigh.....
