Number 123 (Story #3), April 9, 1993 by Phillip F. Schewe and Ben Stein BUCKYBALL MOLECULAR FUSION has been observed by a team of scientists at the University of Freiburg in Germany (E. Campbell et al., Phys. Rev. Lett., 18 Jan.). They injected a 1-keV beam of C-60 ions into a chamber filled with a C-60/C-70 mixture and detected the collision products, including many carbon clusters such as C-120 and C-130. Hans Lutz of the University of Bielefeld (Germany) points out that there is a certain analogy between these cluster-cluster collisions, which take place in the atomic realm---on a size scale of 10**-10 m---and the fusion that can take place between colliding nuclei---at the nuclear size scale of 10**-15 m.
