digitalemurRichard Smalley, Nobel Prize winner for codiscovery of the buckminsterfullerene (aka "buckyball") C60 structure, has died of cancer.
I'm remembering him by looking at the photo gallery of when he and his colleague Bob Curl and lots of Rice students built the world's largest carbon nanotube model. That's some fun with science, right there.
