Pencil + sticky tape = desktop supercollider + post-silicon processors
Blog By the 1980s, some examples had been found - buckyballs, where the honeycomb wraps to form a sphere, and nanotubes, where it curls into a long tube. It is in the nature of physics that some of the weirdest things live in the plainest view.
