1996 Chemistry Nobel prize ROBERT F. CURL, Jr. , SIR HAROLD W. KROTO , and RICHARD E. SMALLEY for their discovery of fullerenes.
There is a Web page with full details, but although I have seen it, I did not note it. Anyone know of where it might be?
It's at: http://www.nobel.se/announcement-96/chemistry96.html
Although I suspect they will be innundated with queries just now, I sent the Webmaster at the above site a suggestion that they might want to replace the rather uninspiring picture of C60 in their announcement with a Chimed version; ie as an example http://www.ch.ic.ac.uk/motm/c60.html (PS has anyone written the script to colour the bonds and or rings?) Curiously, several attempts to get the New Scientist magazine interested in the same have met with considerable lack of interest. Apparently, its too "complicated" for most of its readers to acquire a recent browser and plug-ins. Anyone had or noticed more success with other general publications? Dr Henry Rzepa, Dept.
