Pursuing this lifelong [[experiment]], Fuller wrote more than thirty books, coining and popularizing terms such as "Spaceship Earth", ephemeralization, and [[synergetics]]. He also worked in the development of numerous inventions, chiefly in the fields of design and [[architecture]], the best known of which is the [[geodesic dome]]. Carbon molecules known as fullerenes or buckyballs were named for their resemblance to geodesic spheres.

Late in his life, after working on his concepts for several decades, Fuller achieved considerable public visibility. He travelled the world giving lectures, and received numerous honorary doctorates. Most of his inventions, however, never made it into production. Often dismissed as a hopeless utopian, he was strongly criticized in most fields he tried to influence, including architecture[citation needed]. His proponents, on the other hand, continue to assert that his work has not yet received the attention that it deserves.
