Group Members - Dr. Smalley Rick Smalley's research group at Rice typically includes students from a broad range of disciplines, especially chemistry, physics, biochemistry, materials science, chemical and electrical engineering. The group is always looking for bright young graduate students and postdoctoral associates to join in research at the frontiers of nanoscience and nanotechnology. Job Opportunities Research in the group is concentrated on single walled carbon nanotubes, a.k.a. "buckytubes". When made with molecular perfection these tubular fullerenes offer revolutionary electrical, thermal, and mechanical properties on the nanometer scale. The goal of the group is to develop the underlying basic science, as well as the methods of production, purification, derivitization, analysis, and assembly of these wonderful objects to hasten the day when they are used to solve real world problems.

Extractions: Susie P. Gonzalez susie.gonzalez@trinity.edu March 20, 2003 Richard E. Smalley, the 1996 Nobel Prize winner for chemistry and a professor of chemistry and physics at Rice University, will present an illustrated lecture on the technological and economic implications of his research on nanotechnology during a lecture at 7:30 p.m. Wednesday, April 16 in Laurie Auditorium on the campus of Trinity University. This event was originally scheduled for April 2. Professor Smalley will deliver the 2003 DeCoursey Lecture titled Buckytubes! New Applications of Nanotechology. The presentation is free and open to the public. Nanotechnology, an emerging and revolutionary technology, involves mechanical and electronic devices at the molecular level where lengths and diameters are measured in nanometers. A nanometer equals one-millionth of a millimeter. Professor Smalley is widely known for the discovery in 1985 of Buckminsterfullerenes, a new form of pure carbon that is formed when 60 carbon molecules combine to form a closed hollow sphere with a one-nanometer diameter. The discovery of this new molecule gave rise to the less formal name of buckyball and led to the development of an additional fullerene, the buckytube, a cylindrical form of buckyballs. Buckytubes have the form of one nanometer diameter fibers that are 10 times stronger than steel at a fraction of the weight. Professor Smalley has been involved in the development of new technologies based on these discoveries and believes that these and other nanotechnologies will have important and revolutionary applications in the near future.

Curl, Jr. , and Sir Harold W. Kroto for their discovery of carbon (C , or buckminsterfullerene, or buckyball) and the fullerenes Smalley received a doctorate from Princeton University in 1973. After postdoctoral work at the University of Chicago, Smalley began his teaching career at Rice University, Houston, Texas, in 1976. He was named Gene and Norman Hackerman professor of chemistry in 1982 and became a professor of physics in 1990. It was at Rice University that Smalley and his colleagues discovered fullerenes, the third known form of crystal carbon (diamond and graphite are the other two known forms). The atoms of fullerenes are arranged in a closed shell. Carbon is the smallest stable fullerene molecule, consisting of 60 carbon atoms fit together to form a cage, with the bonds resembling the pattern of seams on a soccer ball. The molecule was given the name buckminsterfullerene because its shape is similar to the geodesic domes designed by the American architect and theorist R. Buckminster Fuller.

Extractions: Professor Smalley received his B.S. degree in 1965 from the University of Michigan and Ph.D. from Princeton in 1973, with an intervening four-year period in industry as a research chemist with Shell. During an unusually productive postdoctoral period with Lennard Wharton and Donald Levy at the University of Chicago, he pioneered what has become one of the most powerful techniques in chemical physics; supersonic beam laser spectroscopy. After coming to Rice University in 1976 he rose rapidly through the academic ranks, being named to the Gene and Norman Hackerman Chair in Chemistry in 1982. He was one of the founders of the Rice Quantum Institute in 1979, and served as the Chairman of this interdisciplinary Institute from 1986 to 1996. Since January 1990 he has also been a Professor in the Department of Physics, and was appointed Director of the new Center for Nanoscale Science and Technology at Rice in 1996. In 1990 he was elected to the National Academy of Sciences, and in 1991 to the American Academy of Arts and Sciences.
