If it ain’t tubes, we don’t do it.

Evolution has just been dealt its death blow. After reading Origins of Life with my background in chemistry and physics, it is clear that biological evolution could not have occurred.

Be a scientist, save the world.

We'd like to make it [bucky fiber] in a continuous fiber, roll it on a drum, and go fishing with it.

If it ain't tubes, we don't do it.

Clean water is a great example of something that depends on energy. And if you solve the water problem, you solve the food problem.

I know that, except for carbon, there would be no life in the universe. Except for this one atom, there would be no life. Well, why? When you think about it, it does get spooky.

In a way, cancer is so simple and so natural. The older you get, this is just one of the things that happens as the clock ticks.

It turned out that the buckyball, the soccer ball, was something of a Rosetta stone of an infinite new class of molecules.

The more we understand what happens in living cells, the more incredibly powerful you realize things can be when they work from the bottom up, by interaction of one molecule and another.
