On the Record

Quote Beginning "Carbon has this genius of making a chemically stable, two-dimensional, one-atom-thick membrane in a three-dimensional world. And that, I believe, is going to be very important in the future of chemistry and technology in general." End Quote

Richard Smalley, recipient of the Nobel Prize in Chemistry, in his Nobel lecture, November 7, 1996
