Dr. Kroto stated, “There is no doubt in my mind that the field of Nanoscience and Nanotechnology is the most exciting frontier science of the 21st century. It has the promise to create advances fully commensurate with those made by chemistry in the 20th century – as groundbreaking as Penicillin, polymers, DNA technology, or computer chips.


Dr. Kroto received the 1996 Nobel Prize for Chemistry, along with colleagues Richard Smalley and Robert Curl, Jr., for the discovery of a new form of carbon, C60, considered one of the most important cornerstones in the development of Nanoscience. Much of today’s Nanotechnology research and commercialization focuses on the tubes and wires derived from these spherical carbon molecules, named “buckyballs” after architect Buckminster Fuller whose geodesic domes they mimic.
