UMD MRSEC Takes Its Giant Buckyball on the Road
D. Hammer, A. PrasertchoungUniversity of Maryland MRSEC DMR0520471
UMD MRSEC has developed an exciting nanoscience demonstration known as the Giant Buckyball. The Giant C60, along with the smaller C20, has been used in a variety of venues including museums such as the Smithsonian Spark!Lab in Washington, DC and Port Discovery Children’s Museum in Baltimore, MD; summer camps; and science festivals to engage students and their families in the exploration of research science and engineering.

To fully understand the behavior of graphene's electrons, Georgia Tech and NIST scientists employ the extremes of ultra-low temperature and large magnetic field. In a new ultra-low temperature scanning tunneling microscope (ULT-STM) constructed at NIST, graphene remains pristine for weeks, enabling precise observations of electron energy levels and interactions. Using multilayer epitaxial graphene prepared at Georgia Tech, the collaborato
