Shell Oil, investigating Ziegler-Natta polymerization, and marrying in 1968. Smalley left Shell to pursue graduate studies and completed his Ph.D. in 1973 with Elliot R. Bernstein (1941- ) at Princeton. As a postdoctoral researcher at the University of Chicago, Smalley collaborated with Donald H. Levy (1939- ) and Lennard Wharton on low-temperature spectroscopy studies that led to supersonic laser-beam spectroscopy. He joined the Rice University faculty in 1976, attracted in part by the laser studies of Robert F. Curl, Jr. The apparatus that Smalley built at Rice would eventually lead to discovery of Cgo and other buckyballs, major contributions to the nascent field of nanotechnology. Smalley, Kroto, and Smalley shared the 1996 Nobel Prize in chemistry. Thereafter, Smalley devoted his research to buckytubes and started Carbon Nanotechnologies Inc. in Houston devoted to their synthesis and applications.
