	Lemelson Center Invention Features: Sir Harold Kroto
		Kroto also values collaboration, believing that competition is to be avoided as much as possible.
		Kroto, Curl and Smalley continued their investigations of C60, trying to make it react with other compounds, including gases such as hydrogen, nitrous oxide, carbon monoxide, sulfur dioxide, oxygen or ammonia, finding that it was a slow-reacting compound.
		Kroto's own enthusiasm for sharing the joy of scientific discovery comes across in his interactions with children of all ages and backgrounds, as does his belief of the importance of preserving our common scientific/ cultural heritage for future generations.

	FSU.com :: Nobel Laureate Sir Harold Kroto joins FSU faculty
		Kroto earned the Nobel Prize for his co-discovery of Buckminster-fullerenes or "buckyballs" -- molecules consisting of 60 carbon atoms in the shape of a soccer ball.
		At the time of the discovery, Kroto was already well known for his assignment of the spectra of several unusual molecules later identified in outer space.
		Kroto earned his doctorate in chemistry in 1964 from the University of Sheffield for research on high resolution electronic spectra of free radicals produced by flash photolysis.

	Harold Kroto
		Kroto believes that the city of Krotoszyn (spelled Krotoschin when the area belonged to Germany) in Poland was the origin of the family.
		Both his parents were born in Berlin, Germany and came to Britain in their 30s as refugees; Kroto's father was Jewish and so they needed to escape the Nazis.
		Kroto was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society in 1990, and awarded a knighthood (becoming Sir Harold Kroto) in 1996 following his receipt of the Nobel Prize.

	Office of Research: Spotlight on Harold W. Kroto
		Kroto is a Francis Eppes Professor in the Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry.
		Kroto's Nobel Prize was based on his co-discovery of buckminsterfullerene, a form of pure carbon better known as "buckyballs." The extraordinary molecule consists of 60 carbon atoms arranged as a spheroid, in a pattern exactly matching the stitching on soccer balls.
		Kroto is the second Nobelist (with J. Robert Schrieffer of the National Magnetic Field Laboratory) now serving on the FSU faculty.

	Small Times - Kroto, unruffled by fame, spreads the good word about science
		Kroto recalls that as a child he was always the kid with the funny name in class, who did his best to merge into the background.
		As Kroto grew older, he naturally gravitated toward chemistry, physics and math, obtaining both his undergraduate and Ph.D. degrees from the University of Sheffield, where he studied "Electronic Spectroscopy of Unstable Molecules." For him, being a nanoscientist and a chemist are one and the same.
		Stimulating the interest of the young is another of Kroto's pet projects, to the point where he started a company called Vega Science Trust with BBC producer Patrick Reams in the mid-1990s.

	The Scientist : Harold Kroto Contemplates Applications of Nobel-Winning Fullerenes (Site not responding. Last check: )
		Editor's Note: Last month, Sir Harold Kroto, the Royal Society Research Professor at the University of Sussex in Brighton, U.K., along with Richard E. Smalley, the Hackerman Professor of Chemistry at Rice University and Robert F. Curl, Jr., also a professor of chemistry at Rice, received the Nobel Prize in chemistry in Stockholm.
		During 1975-78 this effort eventually led to the detection of several different carbon chains, including HC N, and HC Kroto collaborated with David Walton at Sussex and Takeshi Oka and astronomers at the Canadian National Research Council in Ottawa in the discovery of these extraterrestrial molecules.
		Smalley and his group had developed this instrument and were using it for semiconductor research on silicon and germanium clusters, but Kroto immediately realized that it could be used to simulate the high-temperature conditions under which the carbon chains might form in stars.

		Nobel Laureate Sir Harold Kroto graced the St Augustine campus with his presence as part of the Distinguished Open Lecture Series on Friday, October 13.
		Sir Harold, who received the 1996 Nobel Prize for Chemistry, was disarmingly, and unexpectedly, lucid, despite the title of his presentation, “Architecture in Nanospace”.
		As if to get the matter of why he was awarded the Nobel Prize out of the way, Sir Harold, backed up by an artillery of Power Point slides, quickly explained how he came to discover previously unknown forms of carbon containing even numbers of carbon atoms ranging from 40 to more than 100.

	Premio Italgas
		C60 is an elegant molecule shaped as a soccer ball, christened Buchminsterfullerene to honour the American architect who had conceived the geodesic cupola that the molecule, on the microsocopic scale, seems to replicate.
		The discovery of C60 caused Kroto to shelve is dream of setting up a studio specialising in scientific graphic design (which he had been doing semiprofessionally for years).
		He therefore decided to proble the consequences of the C60 concept and to exploit the synthetic chemistry and material sciences application.
