	Richard Smalley - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Richard Errett Smalley (June 6, 1943 – October 28, 2005) was the Gene and Norman Hackerman Professor of Chemistry and a Professor of Physics and Astronomy at Rice University, in Houston, Texas.
		Smalley's latest research was focused on carbon nanotubes, specifically focusing on the chemical synthesis side of nanotube research.
		In 1999 Smalley was diagnosed with non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, which later became chronic lymphocytic leukemia.

	The Texas Twenty: Richard E. Smalley (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		Smalley, a professor of chemistry and physics at Rice University who won the Nobel prize for chemistry in 1996, also gives the speech at various events for Rice alumni and donors, and he is a popular speaker at meetings of civic clubs and other worthy groups.
		Smalley, who is 54, is an appealing, rather elegant man with the timbre and diction of an actor, but while his rhetorical gifts certainly contribute to the effectiveness of the speech, its true power comes from his loving, almost spiritual regard for his subject.
		Smalley won the Nobel prize for his part in discovering the buckyball, an arrangement of sixty carbon atoms bound together in hexagons and pentagons that are themselves bound together.

		Smalley cited predictions that the world demand for energy in the year 2050 would be 30–60 terawatts, depending on how far developing nations raise their standards of living.
		Smalley envisions a future energy economy in which energy is not transported as mass, such as petroleum and natural gas, but as energy, using electrical currents and light beams.
		Smalley also predicts a rise in the use of distributed energy generation and storage—an interconnected network of homes, businesses, and even cars generating energy in situ as it is needed and selling surplus energy back to the grid or storing it for later use.

		Smalley's factual inaccuracies and continued failure to criticize the actual chemical proposals of MNT strongly suggest that his denial of the possibility may be unfounded.
		In view of this, while we agree with Smalley that some scenarios of molecular manufacturing are worrisome, we reject his conclusion that the possibility of MNT should be denied in order to avoid scaring children.
		Smalley's last word is an appeal to other scientists to close ranks and oppose further discussion of molecular manufacturing, in order to prevent “our children” from being scared by the possible consequences.

	An Open Letter to Richard Smalley
		Richard Smalley has voiced criticisms of Dr. Eric Drexler's concept of molecular assemblers, which could be used to implement self-replicating nanobots.
		Smalley, who discovered "fullerenes" (aka "buckyballs"), is Chairman of the Board of Carbon Nanotechnologies, Inc. and former director of Rice University's Center for Nanoscale Science and Technology.
		In particular, you have described molecular assemblers as having multiple "fingers" that manipulate individual atoms and suffer from so-called "fat finger" and "sticky finger" problems, and you have dismissed their feasibility on this basis [1].
