The graphic at the top is a "Buckyball" (after Buckminster Fuller) or fullerene. Buckminster Fuller invented the geodesic dome, which has a similar structure.
The Buckyball is a model of the C60 molocule, is made up of 60 carbon atoms. Mathematically, we call this shape the truncated icosahedron. It has 32 faces, of which 20 are regular hexagons and 12 are regular pentagons. See also and Buckminster Fuller Institute. He was even on a US stamp.
