I heard a fascinating article on Radio 4 at lunchtime about the discovery of graphene at Manchester University. Apparently it should revolutionise the way electronic equipment will work in the future.

That's a fascinating article Linda, it introduced me to fullerenes which have apparently been around since 1985 and the term buckyballs, which I had never heard of before. There's an article in Wiki

WOW!!! My brain hurts after reading the Fullerene link. Do you think `Buckminster` is totally unique as a Christian name?
