...scientists, the discovery of buckyballs has been like stumbling across % an unexpected cache of buried treasure. Only two other distinctive forms of pure carbon have ever been found: ordinary graphite and precious diamonds. The atom clusters in graphite are flattened into hexagons, like tiles on a bathroom floor, while the atoms in diamonds form tiny pyramids. The molecular structure of buckyballs is so radically different that researchers hope this third form of carbon will lead to a whole new class of materials with a multitude of uses...

She remembers the morning she opened her bathroom cabinet in St. Paul and counted 150 that had followed her home from hotels in dozens of cities. Says the former apparel executive: "I was a workaholic, a crazy, crazy woman. I was on a plane four times a week. I just wanted to get to the top.
