Tallahassee Democrat | 12/17/2002 | Renowned Chemist To Teach At FSU Posted on Tue, Dec. 17, 2002. Renowned chemist to teach at FSU. Nobel winnerSir harold W. kroto to visit in 2004 By Andrew Dunn DEMOCRAT STAFF WRITER. http://www.tallahassee.com/mld/democrat/news/local/4754719.htm
Extractions: Florida State University's newest visiting professor isn't just a top-notch chemistry instructor, he's also a winner of the most prestigious science award around. Sir Harold W. Kroto, who won the 1996 Nobel Prize in chemistry, will teach classes at FSU in spring 2004. He is currently a chemistry professor at Sussex University in Brighton, United Kingdom. Kroto will work with faculty and students in the chemistry department as well as others interested in nanoscience, the study and creation of tiny materials by manipulating atoms or molecules as if they were parts of a machine. Nano refers to one billionth of a specified unit. "In addition to being a world-class scientist ... he's a terrific person," said Donald Foss, dean of the FSU College of Arts and Sciences. "He's a guy just full of spark and energy. And he has a deep commitment to the education of all kids, not just of college students."

Extractions: The Nobel Prize is by far the highest recognition a scientist may receive and the only one that the general public is familiar with. Its prestige has reached improbable heights. At the same time a lot of myth surrounds the Nobel Prize. On the 9 th October 1996 The Nobel Prize for Chemistry was awarded by The Royal Swedish Academy of Science jointly to: for their discovery of Fullerenes (see Figure 1). This discovery took place during a period of eleven days in 1985. Their discovery of Fullerenes, a molcule with a structure composed of 60 carbon atom clusters earned them sciences highest honour. They called it buckminsterfullerene (C ) or Fullerene, for short - Buckyballs to the general public. The structures, named after architect Buckminster Fuller and his geodesic domes, look like soccer balls. They consist of carbon atoms in pentagons and hexagons bound together to form a hollow, spherical molecule (Figure 2). They are incredibly stable - when slammed against a steel surface at 17,000 miles per hour, they bounce off undisturbed. In 1991

Extractions: New forms of the element carbon - called fullerenes - in which the atoms are arranged in closed shells was discovered in 1985 by Robert F. Curl, Harold W. Kroto and Richard E. Smalley . The number of carbon atoms in the shell can vary, and for this reason numerous new carbon structures have become known. Formerly, six crystalline forms of the element carbon were known, namely two kinds of graphite, two kinds of diamond, chaoit and carbon(VI). The latter two were discovered in 1968 and 1972. Fullerenes are formed when vaporised carbon condenses in an atmosphere of inert gas. The gaseous carbon is obtained e.g. by directing an intense pulse of laser light at a carbon surface. The released carbon atoms are mixed with a stream of helium gas and combine to form clusters of some few up to hundreds of atoms. The gas is then led into a vacuum chamber where it expands and is cooled to some degrees above absolute zero. The carbon clusters can then be analysed with mass spectrometry.

Extractions: Sir Harold W. Kroto Nobel de Química dio conferencias en la UNAM Patricia Vega Para sir Harold W. Kroto, premio Nobel de Química 1996, la ciencia es ``abstracta, pura, perfecta''. Sin embargo, lo que más le preocupa es ``no estar seguro de tener fe en que la raza humana utilizará la tecnología que se desprende de la ciencia de una manera juiciosa, ya que en estos tiempos las filosofías socioeconómicas (el capitalismo) están fuera de control. ``(...) hay científicos que creen que deben dedicarse sólo a su actividad y dejar los problemas éticos para otras personas; ésa es una negación absoluta de su deber. Los científicos tienen que reconocer que son los únicos que entienden el alcance de lo que han hecho, y que por ello tienen la oportunidad de entender todas las implicaciones. Por ello, los científicos tenemos que participar, de lleno, en la toma de decisiones políticas e industriales; lo que me preocupa es que hay consideraciones financieras a las que se les da más peso...'' Laureado por su descubrimiento de nuevos arreglos moleculares del carbono (carbono 60) que nunca habían sido observados y tienen una forma similar a la de un balón de futbol o un domo geodésico, Kroto llegó a México invitado por la Academia Mexicana de Ciencias para ofrecer dos conferencias magistrales en la UNAM, dentro del programa Conferencias Nobel que realiza anualmente la AMC. Para el académico de la Universidad de Sussex, Inglaterra, nacido en 1939, resulta ``indiscutible'' el papel predominante que la ciencia y la tecnología han tenido y tendrán en el próximo siglo. Sin embargo, ``se da el caso de políticos, funcionarios de gobierno y personas en diversas esferas de la sociedad que deben tomar decisiones sin la preparación para entender la tecnología que originó los diferentes adelantos sobre los cuales hay que decidir''.
