BuckminsterfullerenePremio Nobel 1996 per la Chimica

The accidental discovery of the third allotrope of The accidental discovery of the third allotrope of pure carbon was made in the laboratory of pure carbon was made in the laboratory of Professor Richard Smalley at Rice University. Professor Richard Smalley at Rice University. Rick Smalley was studying semiconductor Rick Smalley was studying semiconductor clusters using a novel laser vaporization clusters using a novel laser vaporization technique in combination with a molecular beam technique in combination with a molecular beam apparatus to form and study clusters.apparatus to form and study clusters.

The result was the observation of stable CThe result was the observation of stable C6060
