Websites to look at

I put links here to give me more flexibility in perusing them. The list was originally started by adding new links at the bottom. I've since decided it makes more sense to add new links to the top. I recently (10 Nov 2005) ran checkbot on my site and weeded out the non-working links below. It was toughest sorting through the "302 Found" links.

BONDING BUCKY-ONIONS
A tough material composed of nanoscale spheres might be just the thing for aerospace and other hi-tech industries. The new material, described in the 26 November print issue of PRL, is made from spherical cages of carbon and nitrogen atoms and has a rare combination of strength and elasticity. Initial tests show that it springs back when squashed and is chemically stable.
