Bucky Balls
</h3></dt>
<dd>
Technically, Buckminster Fullerene, a family of all carbon
molecules named after the great designer-architect-engineer,
Buckminster Fuller. The most stable member, C60, is a hollow
sphere with the same architecture as the geodesic structures
Fuller pioneered a half century ago.

Penrose Tiling
</h3></dt>
<dd>
A method of tiling a plane thought impossible until
discovered by Roger Penrose. Combining two differently shaped
rhomboids, the tiling has five-fold symmetry, yet
<em>
the pattern
is not periodic!
</em>
. A mathematical curiosity until it was found
in some natural minerals with rather strange properties.
