Smalley (1943-2005) 2005 2 .pdf application/pdf 1326 196 75 23 DECEMBER 2005 VOL 310 SCIENCE www.sciencemag.org1916 In only 40 years of applying his powerful intellect to science and technology, his work led to entirely new types of materials and fields of study, revolutionary apparatus for scientific investigations and commercialization, and a deep Smalley's interest in science began in his recent improvements on equipment for producing carbon nanotubes. As a result, chemical physicists can now drastically simplify the spectroscopy of complex molecules. study interesting carbon cluster distributions found by Andrew Kaldor at Exxon world, which showed the diversity of carbon group's work to carbon nanotubes, which carbon cage molecules, and Rick and his for making single-walled carbon nanotubes. high-quality nanotubes, first through a nonprof it effort at Rice University, and then in 1999, Carbon Nanotechnologies, Inc.
