Richard Errett Smalley (June 6, 1943 – October 28, 2005) was the Gene and Norman Hackerman Professor of Chemistry and a Professor of Physics and Astronomy at Rice University, in Houston, Texas. In 1996, along with Robert Curl, also a professor of chemistry at Rice, and Harold Kroto, a professor at the University of Sussex, he was awarded the Nobel Prize in Chemistry for the discovery of a new form of carbon, buckminsterfullerene, also known as buckyballs, and was a leading advocate of nanotechnology and its many applications, including its use in creating strong but lightweight materials as well as its potential to fight cancer.
Smalley, the youngest of 4 siblings, was born in Akron, Ohio, and grew up in Kansas City, Missouri.
Smalley attended Hope College before transferring to the University of Michigan where he received his Bachelor of Science in 1965. Between his studies, he worked in industry, where he developed his unique managerial style. He received his Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D.) from Princeton University in 1973 with Prof. E. R. Bernstein. He completed postdoctoral work at the University of Chicago, with Lennard Wharton and Donald Levy, where he was a pioneer in the development of supersonic beam laser spectroscopy.
According to Rice University professor Richard Smalley, energy is the number one challenge facing humanity today. In this engaging and thought-provoking lecture, Smalley explains that finding sustainable sources of energy for the entire world will not only alleviate a growing energy crisis, but will also assist in the solution to many of the world's other problems, such as water, terrorism, and health. Smalley presents his vision for our energy future, which focuses on the transition to renewable sources of energy by developing cost-effective technologies that capture solar, wind, and geothermal energy. Drawing from his professional experience, Smalley argues that advances in nanotechnology are the key to achieving a sustainable energy future. This talk is part of the Walter Orr Roberts Pu...

Nobel laureate Rick Smalley explains how solving the energy crisis makes it possible to address many other pressing problems we face in the coming decades. This interview with Turk Pipkin was filmed shortly before Smalley passed away.
1. «In the last time, I again began to regularly go to Church. I have a new objective: to try to understand, in what is today the attraction and the power of Christianity for billions of people - in spite of the fact that it took almost two thousand years since the then, as Christ died and was resurrected. And although I hardly ever be able to understand it fully, now I guess I can to say that the answer is very simple: Christianity is true. God did create the universe of 13.7 billions of years ago, and He inevitably linked with the fate of His creation. Only God knows the purpose of this universe, but modern science more and more convinced that it is accurate the device of the universe make human life possible. We have some important role in God's plan. Our task is to try to understand th...
Totally amphibious, completely self contained, loads itself onto a flatbed truck, rolls itself into the water and uses an integral winch to pull itself from the water so not requiring a crane or special access. Works from the water so offering excellent reach and digging depth without inconveniencing riverside properties. The dredger has three stabilising legs fitted with pairs of one metre wide hollow drum wheels which provide stability and flotation; in the water it punts in 3metre strides using jib, dipper and slew; no propeller nor rudder means nothing to foul up on underwater debris; once in place the stabilisers allow the dredger to use it's large tearout force to deal with the toughest phragmites reeds unloading to the bank or accompanying barge
Nobel laureate Rick Smalley, in an interview filmed shortly before his death, outlines the potential for wind and solar energy to transform the world.
My late PhD adviser, Richard Smalley, speaks at Columbia about "our energy challenge", on September 23, 2003.
The Richard E. Smalley Institute for Nanoscale Science & Technology held the 9th annual Tuna Fest at Rice University on July 1, 2011. Tuna, music from Blaggards, and St. Arnold beer were all served to over 1500 faculty, staff, and students. The festival is held annually on the Friday before Independence Day. Tuna Fest was founded by Wade Adams, director of the institute, in 2002 because he caught too much tuna off the outer banks of North Carolina for he and his wife to eat.

Engineering T cells: moving beyond leukemia Air date: Wednesday, September 28, 2016, 3:00:00 PM Category: WALS - Wednesday Afternoon Lectures Runtime: 00:49:33 Description: NIH Director’s Wednesday Afternoon Lecture Series It is now well established that the immune system can control and eliminate cancer cells. Adoptive T-cell transfer has the potential to overcome the significant limitations associated with vaccine-based strategies in patients who are often immune compromised. Dr. June will discuss how the emerging discipline of synthetic biology-which combines elements of genetic engineering and molecular biology to create new biological structures with enhanced functionalities-can be applied to cancer. He will also talk about the outlook for chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) and ...
Les nanosciences et nanotechnologies (d’après le grec νάνος nain), ou NST, peuvent être définies au minimum comme l’ensemble des études et des procédés de fabrication et de manipulation de structures (électroniques, chimiques…), de dispositifs et de systèmes matériels à l’échelle du nanomètre (nm), ce qui est l’ordre de grandeur de la distance entre deux atomes. Les NST présentent plusieurs acceptions liées à la nature transversale de cette jeune discipline. En effet, elles utilisent, tout en permettant de nouvelles possibilités, des disciplines telles que l’optique, la biologie, la mécanique, microtechnologie. Ainsi, comme le reconnaît le portail français officiel des NST, « les scientifiques ne sont pas unanimes quant à la définition de nanoscience et de nanotechnologie». Les nanomatér...
