1. Chemistry, Physics, and Astronomy in the Discoveries of C60
We are proud to announce
Prof. Donald R. Huffman
University of Arizona
Regents Professor Emeritus
Will give a seminar entitled:
Chemistry, Physics, and Astronomy in the Discoveries of C60
Thurs., Sept. 24 at 4 pm
Olin 205
Brief reception in Olin rotunda immediately following
All students and community members welcome.
Since the beginning of history, humankind had only ever held two pure forms of carbon in their hands (graphite and diamond). Prof. Huffman is jointly responsible for discovering a method to produce the third: C60 or buckminsterfullerene. Come hear the historical perspective of the discoveries motivated by the intersection of three fields of science! The talk is open to all and will be given at a general audience level.
