The first publication on the Buckminsterfullerene carbon molecule (C60) was in 1985 by Kroto et al. [1]. Not much else happened right after that since samples of C60 were not available for further study. It was the discovery of Krätschmer and Huffman's group [2] in 1990 that really opened up the field. They found a method to produce C60 in gram quantity. This made it possible for researchers around the world to investigate C60 properties and further advanced the field of nanocarbon research. Establishing the existence of a third crystalline form of carbon is one of the most exciting fundamental discoveries in science to date.
