BuckminsterfullerenePremio Nobel 1996 per la
Chimica

• The accidental discovery of the third allotrope
  of pure carbon was made in the laboratory of
  Professor Richard Smalley at Rice University.
  Rick Smalley was studying semiconductor clusters
  using a novel laser vaporization technique in
  combination with a molecular beam apparatus to
  form and study clusters.
• The result was the observation of stable C60
  clusters and the first postulation that the
  structure of this compound was a truncated
  icosahedron.
• Named Buckminsterfullerene after the geodesic
  domes of Buckminster Fuller, C60 and its hundreds
  of derivatives have made fullerene research a
  major subfield of chemistry.
• Possible industrial applications include
  superconductivity, optics, lubrication,
  electronics, catalysis, polymer chemistry,
  ultrathin films of diamonds, and medical delivery
  systems.
