These molecular structures are called fullerenes, or buckyballs, in honor of the American architect and inventor Buckminster Fuller. Smalley sits on the board of C-Sixty, a biotech company that builds fullerenes into molecules that researchers hope will attach to and deactivate HIV molecules and blow up cancer cells on cue. "Buckyballs are not quite like nanosubmarines that target deadly diseases"--as seen in the 1966 film Fantastic Voyage--"but because of their size and shape, they are well suited for drug discovery," says Stephen Wilson, co-founder of C-Sixty, based in Houston...

Advocates of laws making it easier to commit people argue that hospitalizing those who don't recognize their severe mental illness can help both them and the rest of us. Dr. Fuller Torrey, a get-tough proponent who has battled Yoder's supporters, says two studies show that roughly 40% of those released from psychiatric hospitals end up in jail within a year...
