چکیده
T his year marks the 30th anniversary of the discovery of C60, the carbon cages affectionately known as buckyballs. Astronomers have long speculated that the molecules could be responsible for unusual features in the spectra of starlight, known as diffuse interstellar bands (DIBs). After two decades of research, John P. Maier, professor of chemistry at the University of Basel, in Switzerland, recently confirmed that hypothesis, proving that deep space is littered with buckyballs. Mark Peplow spoke with Maier to find out how he did it.

متن کاملIntentlonallty and Human Conversations
This paper analyzes principles of human conversation based on the conversational goals of the participants. Several conversational rules are proposed that seem crucial to the process of interpreting and generating conversations. These rules, as well as other aspects of the conversation process, are embodied in MICS, a computer program that generates one side of a conversation. The process model...
