The discovery of buckminsterfullerine, a previously unknown form of carbon, surprised the scientific community as much for the discovery as for the manner in which it came about. Here was a new, almost perfect carbon form with potential applications, discovered almost as a side project. This text recounts the events leading up to the discovery of the "buckyball" and explores the many new doors this scientific breakthrough may open.

HUGH ALDERSEY-WILLIAMS graduated from Cambridge University with a degree in natural sciences, majoring in chemistry. He has since written widely on both science and technology in newspapers and magazines ranging from Popular Science and New Scientist to The Independent, The Guardian, and The Daily Telegraph. He lives in London.
