Rice University

Diana,

Rice is the birthplace of a scientific achievement lauded by the American Chemical Society (ACS) as “revolutionary in concept, broad in scope and long-term impact.” The carbon-60 molecule, or buckyball, was discovered on Rice’s campus winning the Nobel Prize in chemistry for professors Richard Smalley and Robert Curl.

The ACS presented Rice with the Citation for Chemical Breakthrough Award. Gary Patterson, the chair of the ACS history division said the discovery, and Rice’s role in it “changed the face of chemistry forever.” Patterson celebrated the team – “Their work, performed at Rice, is rightfully credited as seminal in many areas of science and technology, including in nanotechnology, materials science and electronics.”


Rice undergraduates are directly involved in our culture of innovation and pioneering in science. They participate in cutting edge research and are provided access to leading minds, groundbreaking discoveries and experiential learning.

How will you change the world? Be decisive. Choose Rice.

Sincerely,
Julie M. Browning
