Evidence that buckyballs and carbon nanotubes form from the dust and gas of dying stars

Evidence that buckyballs and carbon nanotubes form from the dust and gas of dying stars Astronomers at the University of Arizona, funded by two grants from the U.S. National Science Foundation, have developed a theory to explain the presence of the largest molecules known to exist in interstellar gas. The team simulated the environment… Read more at nsf.gov
