Read moreIt has been little more than 20 years since the discovery of buckyballs, hollow spherical molecules made entirely of carbon atoms, which serve as the starting point for this field of study. In 1996, Richard Errett Smalley won the Nobel Prize in Chemistry for the breakthrough. While there have been accomplishments at the pinnacle of academics in this emerging field, there is still a need for more accessible introductory curricula.
