In 1985 Sean O'Brien and colleagues discovered buckyballs, fullerenes, and created the field of carbon nanotechnology.   (I wanted to see "Sean O'Brien and colleagues" written at least one time in my life).  Working with Sir Harry Kroto, Robert Curl, Jim Heath, and Rick Smalley was a tremendous honor.  There are several books on the subject available by authors Aldersey-Williams, Baggett, and a new book edited by Harry Kroto a year before his death.
