Curl (Rice University), and Sir Harold Kroto (University of Sussex) for their discovery of buckminsterfullerene. The award was given for the discovery of a new form (allotrope) of carbon, buckminsterfullerene, which contains 60 carbon atoms in the shape of a soccer ball.? Dr. Smalley was supported by BES Division of Chemical Sciences for the work that led to the discovery of buckminsterfullerene in 1985, and Dr. Curl has long been supported for his work in infrared spectroscopy
