FSU Web Sites Student Directory Sir Harold W. Kroto Francis Eppes Professor Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry Dr. Sir Harold "Harry" W. Kroto, one of the co-recipients of the 1996 Nobel Prize in Chemistry , now teaches at FSU. Dr. Kroto is a Francis Eppes Professor in the Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry. Kroto gives a highly popular series of public lectures, visiting area schools to promote science education and has taught a graduate class on interstellar chemistry. He comes to FSU from the University of Sussex in England, where he taught for 37 years. Kroto said his move to FSU allows him to "not only open up some new research avenues" but "also maintain the considerable momentum that (his research has) built up over the past 10 years in my international educational outreach work." Dr. Kroto, through the Vega Trust website , aims to create a broadcast platform for the science, engineering and technology (SET) communities, so enabling them to communicate on all aspects of their fields of expertise using the exciting new TV and Internet opportunities. Kroto's Nobel Prize was based on his co-discovery of buckminsterfullerene , a form of pure carbon better known as "buckyballs." The extraordinary molecule consists of 60 carbon atoms arranged as a spheroid, in a pattern exactly matching the stitching on soccer balls. The configuration reminded Kroto of the geodesic domes designed by the late inventor/architect Buckminster Fuller, hence the name "buckminsterfullerines."

Nobel Prize Winning Chemists Sir Harold W. Kroto The Nobel Prize In Chemistry 1996 Sir Harold W. Kroto was born in Berlin Germany in 1936. His father's family came from Bojanowo and set up a shop in Berlin where his father was born in 1900. He started to develop an unhealthy interest in chemistry during enjoyable lessons with Dr. Wilf Jary who fascinated him most with his ability, when using a gas blowpipe to melt lead, to blow continuously without apparently stopping to breathe in. He, like almost all chemists he knew, was also attracted by the smells and bangs that endowed chemistry with that slight but charismatic element of danger which is now banned from the classroom. He became ever more fascinated by chemistry particular organic chemistry. Sir Harold had been keen on organic chemistry when he arrived at Sussex but as the university course progressed he started to get interested in quantum mechanics and when he was introduced to spectroscopy, he was hooked. He had a problem as he really liked organic chemistry, but in the end he decided to do a Ph. D. in the Spectroscopy of Free Radicals produced by Flash Photolysis-with Richard Dixon. George Porter was Professor of Physical Chemistry at that time so there was a lot of flashing going on at Sheffield. In 1965 after a further year of flash photolysis/spectroscopy in Don Ramsay's laboratory, where I discovered a singlet electronic transition of the NCN radical and worked on pyridine which turned out to have a nonplanar excited state, I transferred to Cec Costain's laboratory because he had developed a fascination for microwave spectroscopy. There he worked on the rotational spectrum of NCN3. Sometimes Takeshi Oka would be on the next spectrometer-working next to someone with such an exceptional blend of theoretical and experimental expertise did not help to alleviate the occasional sense of inadequacy. He really learned quantum mechanics from an intensive course that Jon Hougen gave at Carleton University. Whenever he was in difficulty theoretically, Jim Watson helped him out.

Kroto, Sir Harold W. I was the kid with the funny name in my form. That is one of the earliest memories I have of school (except for being forced to finish school dinners). Other kids had typical Lancashire names such as Chadderton, Entwistle, Fairhurst, Higginbottom, Mottershead and Thistlethwaite though I must admit that there were the odd Smith, Jones and Brown. My name at that time was Krotoschiner (my father changed it to Kroto in 1955 so it is now occasionally thought, by some, to be Japanese). I felt as though I must have come from outer space - or maybe they did! I now realise that I had made a continual subconscious effort to blend as best I could into the environment by making my behaviour as identical as possible to that of the other kids. This was not easy indeed it was almost impossible with a couple of somewhat eccentric parents (in particular an extrovertly gregarious mother) who were born in Berlin and came to Britain as refugees in their late 30's. Bolton is a once prosperous but then (the fifties) decaying northern English town which is rightfully proud of its legendary contributions to the industrial revolution - the likes of Samuel Crompton and Richard Arkwright were Boltonians. Indeed we lived in Arkwright St. and I shall always remember walking to school each morning past the windows of cotton mills through which I could see the vast rows of massive looms and spinning frames operated by women who had been working from at least six o'clock in the morning, if not earlier.

This is the basis of what we now call the scientific method, but it should actually be called something much more general - like 'The Method of Reaching Fundamental Understanding of the Physical World, the Natural World and the Mind of Man'. A consequence of the global nature of this method is that questions that are not susceptible to this approach are at one and the same time essentially unanswerable, fundamentally flawed and intrinsically meaningless. After all, if there is no universal bedrock of global truth upon which to base an answer, then the question is not conceptually valid. Thus, those who purport to have answers have only parochial belief to rely upon. As a result, a plethora of personal mystical philosophies stalk the world, propagated by purveyors who have a vested interest - in characterising doubt as dangerous, in misrepresenting science, and in misrepresenting results of science that undermine mystical philosophies.

Sir Harold W. Kroto 1996 Nobel Prize in Chemistry University of Sussex Sir Harold W. Kroto shared the 1996 Nobel Prize in chemistry for the discovery of "fullerenes"—previously unidentified forms of carbon molecules. Using microwave spectroscopy, Kroto had discovered an abundance of long-chained carbon molecules in interstellar space that he postulated had been formed in the stellar atmospheres of red giant stars. Experimenting in 1985 with the vaporization and cluster formation of carbon in a simulated atmosphere, he and his colleagues noted that certain dominant cluster sizes, which were so stable that they suspected a highly symmetrical, closed-shell structure. Identification of the fullerenes opened a new branch of chemistry with consequences in such diverse areas as astrochemistry, physics, superconductivity, and materials science. Kroto was born in Cambridgeshire, England, the son of refugees from Berlin. He attended the University of Sheffield, earning a Ph.D. there (1964) in high-resolution spectroscopy. He began his academic career as a lecturer at the University of Sussex in 1967, becoming Royal Society Research Professor in 1991. His honors include election to the Royal Society (1990), the International Prize for New Materials from the American Physical Society (1992), and the Hewlett Packard Europhysics Prize (1994). He was knighted in 1996. Download Photos for News/Media: PC or Macintosh 2001 Conference Participants Schedule ...

Sir Harold W. Kroto University of Sussex Science: A Round Peg In A Square World Science (including technology) is the dominant culture of the 20th Century and seems set to dominate the 21st even more. However scientific advances are only made by intellectual endeavour as are advances in the Arts. These cultural aspects are continually overlooked as society exploits scientific knowledge without understanding it. This results in not only the injudicious use the fruits of scientific advances but also the misapplication of resources for research. Symmetry patterns are intrinsic to all aspects of perception and seem to play an essential role in the creative process in both the sciences and the arts. Without an awareness of the importance of such abstract concepts to the cathartic responses that underpin human endeavor it is unlikely that the present desperate attempts being made to improve the quantity and the quality of achievements (in scientific research and development or the arts) will be particularly successful. Even though Science is the dominant culture of the 20th Century and looks destined to become even more dominant in the 21st, this dominance as well as the cultural nature of science are poorly appreciated by the Public as well as many in Industry and Government. Major problems arise in the way the Media propagate bizarrely stereotyped images of Science and the Scientist. As long as science education is seen as a training exercise for industry rather than a part of our cultural heritage, science and therefore also society will lose out. Some (personal) efforts to redress the problems are being initiated via the Vega Science Trust (

Home Welcome to Miraikan Everyday at the National Museum of Emerging Science and Innovation, Director Mohri receives many visits from scientists, famous people, and celebrities from throughout the world. Director Mohri's guests will be introduced in this corner. Visitor: Sir Harold W. Kroto Date: October 30, 2002 (Wednesday) On this visit, Dr. Mori welcomed Sir Harold W. Kroto, and Royal Society Research Professor at the University of Sussex to the Miraikan. Dr. Kroto was awarded the Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 1996 for his research on the structure of fullerenes, new three-dimensional chemical compounds. Dr. Kroto is firmly committed to activities that educate society about technology and science, and used his laptop computer during his visit to demonstrate to Dr. Mori the use of the Internet in science education. He was particularly enthusiastic about the Internet's potential as a teaching aide. Although Dr. Kroto only had a limited amount of time for his visit, Dr. Mori was able to give him a tour of the museum's research laboratories, the Aida nanospace project, and its newest regular exhibit, Geo-Cosmos, which opened in the fifth floor exhibit zone in October. Dr. Kroto was particularly interested in the Miraikan's original experiment tower module at the international space station exhibit, the creation of which was overseen by Dr. Mori, and had many questions, which included queries regarding the actual uses of the different instruments on display.

Ph: +46 8 673 95 00, fax: +46 8 15 56 70, e-mail: rsas@kansli.kva.se The Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences has decided to award the 1996 Nobel Prize in Chemistry jointly to Professor Robert F. Curl, Jr ., Rice University, Houston, USA, Professor Sir Harold W. Kroto , University of Sussex, Brighton, U.K., and Professor Richard E. Smalley , Rice University, Houston, USA, for their discovery of fullerenes. Photographs The discovery of carbon atoms bound in the form of a ball is rewarded 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.

Richard Errett Smalley Date and place of birth: He was born in Akron, Ohio on June 6, 1943. Ethnic group and gender: He is a white male, both parents were born in Kansas City. Interesting personal and family information: His interest in Science had many roots. Some came from his mother as she finished her BA Degree, she fell in love with science. it was from his mother that he first learned of' Archimedes, Leonardo da Vinci, Galileo, Kepler, and Darwin. They spent hours together collecting single-celled organisms from a local pond and watching them with a microscope she had received as a gift from his father. Mostly they talked and read together. From her he learned the wonder of ideas and the beauty of Nature. From his father he learned to build things, to take them apart, and to fix mechanical and electrical equipment in general. His mother, Esther Rhoads, was the third of six children of Charlotte Kraft and Errett Stanley Rhoads, a wealthy manufacturer of furniture in the Kansas City area. She liked the unusual name Errett so much that she gave it to him as his middle name. She picked the name Richard after the crusading English king (the Lion-Hearted). His father, Frank Dudley Smalley, Jr., was of four children born to Mary Rice Burkholder and Frank Dudley Smalley Sr., a railroad mail clerk in Kansas City. Although his father went by the name of June, short for Junior, he never quite forgave his father for not having given him a name of his own, and for not having aspired to more in life. His father started work as a carpenter, and then as a printer's devil, working for the local newspaper, The Kansas City Star, and later for a farm implement trade journal, Implement and Tractor. By the time he retired in 1963 he had long since risen to be CEO of this company, and a group of several others that published trade journals in the agriculture industry throughout the Western Hemisphere.
