Plenary Lecture

The Plenary Lecture, Architecture in NanoSpace, will be presented by Professor Sir Harold Kroto FRS on Saturday evening May 27, 2006.

Harry Kroto is one of the most exciting and provocative chemistry lecturers of our time.  He shared the 1996 Nobel Prize in Chemistry for the discovery of buckminsterfullerene (C₆₀).  Much more information about his past and current research interests may be found on his web site.
