Carlos Garcia, left, administrative director of the Richard E. Smalley Institute for Nanoscale Science and Technology, and John Marsh, the institute’s operations director, pose with the well-crafted sand buckyball they helped Rice’s Facilities, Engineering and Planning team create for the American Institute of Architects’ annual sandcastle competition in Galveston June 5. The team, led by plant operator Martha Zawacki, participated for the 14th year in a row. They created the buckyball in recognition of the Year of Nano at Rice, a yearlong celebration of the 25th anniversary of the Nobel Prize-winning discovery of the carbon 60 molecule. |
