The prime force behind the initiative was one Richard E. Smalley, that rarest of all birds in academic circles, a confessed admirer of Eric Drexler.
It's a small, small world
In 1995, Richard E. Smalley's group at Rice University in Houston reported seeing nanotubes give off light but attributed the glow to rapid unraveling of carbon chains from the surface (SN: 9/16/95, p.

Buckyballs bounce into Nobel history
15 Science, Richard E. Smalley of Rice University in Houston and his colleagues describe the carbon chains pulling away from the nanotubes "in a process that resembles unraveling the sleeve of a sweater." Heating the closed, dome-shaped ends of the nanotubes with a laser caused them to open and made the edges jagged and sharp.
Carbon wires grow from tiny graphite tubes
The key to making such small fibers was starting with nanotubes, says Richard E. Smalley of Rice, a codiscoverer of buckyballs who currently works with carbon nanotubes.
