Number 95 (Story #4), September 22, 1992 by Phillip F. Schewe and Ben Stein BUCKYBALL BEAMS at energies up to 50 MeV per bucky have been created by Yvon Le Beyec at the Nuclear Physics Institute at Orsay, France. Cesium ions are used to strike and ionize C-60 molecules residing in a solid pellet. Accelerated buckyballs are potentially useful projectiles since they possess relatively large energy but small velocity, insuring that they won't penetrate a target to any great depth.
