Robert Curl
- ...that as a child Robert Curl (pictured) ruined his mother’s stove by spilling nitric acid on it from his first chemistry set, but went on to win the Nobel Prize in Chemistry for the discovery of C60 fullerene?
- Reviewed: Alan Sisitsky
5x expanded by Antony-22 (talk). Self nominated at 03:34, 13 July 2014 (UTC).
I think as a child and some other bits can be omitted as things the reader will infer.
- ALT1 ...that Robert Curl (pictured), who won the Nobel Prize in Chemistry for the discovery of C60 fullerene, ruined his mother’s stove with nitric acid from his first chemistry set?
Further, I wonder if Buckminsterfullerene was omitted for length reasons -- it fits now and will attract interest, I think:
- ALT2 ...that Robert Curl (pictured), who won the Nobel Prize in Chemistry for the discovery of Buckminsterfullerene, ruined his mother’s stove with nitric acid from his first chemistry set?
