Title: A sad day for "buckyball" Post by: Nebu on October 31, 2005, 01:20:19 PM Quote Richard E. Smalley, the Rice University chemistry professor who shared a Nobel Prize for discovering a new spherical form of carbon and championed the potential of nanotechnology to create a more sustainable economy, died Friday at 62 at the M. D. Anderson Cancer Center in Houston. You can read the story here (http://www.nytimes.com/2005/10/29/science/29smalley.html). I had the chance to speak with Dr. Smalley on a number of occasions and while I didn't always agree with him, I had great respect for his drive and ambitions. The world lost a solid scientist.

Thanks for the report, Nebu. |
