  3. 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. 7/30/99
