Presentation transcript:

The original aim was to understand molecular vibrational dynamics In a carbon plasma simulating a stellar atmosphere we discovered C 60 Thus a totally new field of Chemistry was born We discovered carbon chains in space It is found that fullerenes improve plastic solar cell efficiency …then our carbon chains were discovered in stars Structure clues came from architecture and models …then by radioastronomy

All that is gold does not glitter Not all those who wander are lost The old that is strong does not whither Deep roots are not reached by the frost

From the ashes a fire shall be woken A light from the shadows shall spring Renewed shall be the blade that is broken The crownless again shall be king

All that is gold does not glitter Not all those who wander are lost The old that is strong does not whither Deep roots are not reached by the frost
