The fullerene molecule belongs to the so-called super materials. The compound is interesting due to its spherical configuration where atoms occupy positions forming a mechanically stable structure. We first demonstrate that pollen of Hibiscus rosa-sinensis has a strong symmetry regarding the distribution of its spines over the spherical grain. These spines form spherical hexagons and pentagons. The distance between atoms in fullerene is explained applying principles of flat, spherical, and spatial geometry, based on Euclid's "Elements" book, as well as logic algorithms. Measurements of the pollen grain take into account that the true spine lengths, and consequently the real distances between them, are measured to the periphery of each grain. Algorithms are developed to recover the spatial effects lost in 2D photos. There is a clear correspondence between the position of atoms in the fullerene molecule and the position of spines in the pollen grain. In the fullerene the separation gives the idea of equal length bonds which implies perfectly distributed electron clouds while in the pollen grain we suggest that the spines being equally spaced carry an electrical charge originating in forces involved in the pollination process.
富勒烯分子属于所谓的超材料。该化合物因其球形结构而备受关注，在这种结构中，原子占据特定位置，形成了机械稳定的结构。我们首先证明，朱槿花粉在球形颗粒上的刺分布具有很强的对称性。这些刺形成了球形六边形和五边形。基于欧几里得的《几何原本》以及逻辑算法，运用平面、球面和空间几何原理来解释富勒烯中原子间的距离。对花粉粒的测量考虑到，真实的刺长以及它们之间的实际距离是测量到每个颗粒的外围。开发了算法来恢复在二维照片中丢失的空间效应。富勒烯分子中原子的位置与花粉粒中刺的位置之间存在明显的对应关系。在富勒烯中，原子间距给出了等长键的概念，这意味着电子云分布完美；而在花粉粒中，我们认为等间距的刺带有源于授粉过程中各种力的电荷。
