Donald Huffman
Donald R. Huffman (born 1935) is a Professor Emeritus of Physics at the University of Arizona. With Wolfgang Krätschmer, he developed a technique in 1990 for the simple production of large quantities of C, or Buckminsterfullerene. Previously, in 1982~1983, he and Krätschmer had found, in a UV spectrum, the first signal of C ever observed. Huffman was featured prominently in the PBS Nova documentary, originally aired in 1995, "Race to Catch a Buckyball".
