	C&EN 970106-Fullerenes Gain Nobel Stature
		Although Curl introduced Smalley and Kroto, participated in the experiments that led to the discovery of the fullerenes, and conducted research on them for several years following the discovery, he was not generally perceived to be as central a figure in the fullerene saga as were Smalley and Kroto.
		Curl, 63, a native of Alice, Texas, is the son of a Methodist minister.
		Curl is generally credited with being the catalyst that led to the discovery of the fullerenes through his introduction of Smalley and Kroto.

	Math Forum - Ask Dr. Math
		Date: 09/06/2002 at 04:16:02 From: Robert Curl Subject: Partial derivative Dear Dr. Math, Given an equation, for example, x+y=0, is it true that if we perform the same operation on both sides we could have the same results on both sides?
		Date: 09/06/2002 at 08:46:01 From: Doctor Jerry Subject: Re: Partial derivative Hi Robert, The partial derivative with respect to a variable is an operation that is defined in terms of functions.
		In this case, the equation x+y=0 might mean that we are considering a function F(x,y) defined on the (x,y) plane to be the sum of the x and y coordinates.

	Curl Surname DNA Project
		If your CURL research has hit a “stone wall”, DNA analysis could be the break through you have been looking for, to push your CURL genealogy research back hundreds of years by finding connections to other CURL family Lines.
		By analyzing the Y chromosome we can discover whether males with surname CURL (and their female children) have a common ancestor. The Y chromosome passes from father to son unchanged apart from random mutations, much like a surname.
		But that does not mean that daughters are not just as related to their fathers as sons. In fact everyone potentially has genes from all their ancestors, half on average from each parent, a quarter on average from each grandparent, an eighth from each great grandparent and so forth back forever.

		Curl, Kroto and Smalley performed this experiment together with graduate students J.R. Heath and S.C. O’Brien during a period of eleven days in 1985.
		Through his acquaintanceship with Robert Curl, Kroto learned that it should be possible to use Smalley's instrument to study the vaporisation and cluster formation of carbon, which might afford him evidence that the long-carbon-chain compounds could have been formed in the hot parts of stellar atmospheres.
		Curl conveyed this interest to Smalley and the result was that on 1 September 1985 Kroto arrived in Smalley's laboratory to start, together with Curl and Smalley, the experiments on carbon vaporisation.

	sasha curl - Sasha Fans Forum
		I have seen several photos of Sasha doing the "Sasha Curl" when she was 15 and 16 and possabily 17 also, before she hurt her back, but I'm not sure if she has attempted it since then.
		Sasha is the only skater that has ever touched the top of her head with the blade of her unassisted raised free leg while doing a layback, with her two arms stratch backwards and paralel with the ice, with her back, shoulders, head and arms in an exquisite curl-just so graceful!
		Honestly, I don't really remember the curl, like when she did them, and what kind of impact it made the program (for me, I mean).

		He was awarded the Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 1996 for the discovery of a new form of carbon, buckminsterfullerene ("buckyballs") (with Robert Curl, also a professor of chemistry at Rice, and Harold Kroto, a professor at the University of Sussex).
		As a consequence of this expertise, Robert Curl introduced him to Harry Kroto in order to investigate a question about the constituents of astronomical 'dark matter'.
		The result of this collaboration was the discovery of C60 as the third allotropic form of carbon.
