The Kroto Group

The Kroto Group is a research group led by Sir Harold Kroto, a Nobel Prize-winning chemist, known for discovering buckminsterfullerene, a new form of carbon molecule shaped like a soccer ball. This discovery opened up new areas in chemistry and nanotechnology, impacting material science and electronics. The group focuses on understanding complex molecules, their structures, and how they can be used in advanced materials and technologies. Their work bridges fundamental chemistry with real-world applications, enhancing our understanding of molecular architectures and their potential in innovative product development.
