Scientists at Exxon published this highly influential spectrum shortly after Millie Dresselhaus implored them to search for large carbon clusters. Years later, the spike at sixty atoms was confirmed as the signal for C60 (buckminsterfullerene) and the spike at seventy atoms as the signal for C70. Credit: Reprinted from Eric A. Rohlfing, D. M.
