摘要

The discovery of buckminsterfullerene 40 years ago was a major event in chemistry and materials science. It was also a discovery outside the “box” as Harold W. Kroto, Richard E. Smalley, Robert F. Curl, and their students assigned a structure to the species appearing as a prominent peak in the mass spectrum. Earlier, Eiji Osawa and Elena G. Galpern had suggested its existence and truncated icosahedral shape. This field of science began unprecedented progress when Donald R. Huffman, Wolfgang Krätschmer, and their associates produced the actual material.
