The Carbon journal editorial team and the international carbon community all mourn the recent passing of Sir Harold Walter Kroto (1939-2016). We invite you to read a tribute to Harry and his scientific contributions written by Carbon editor Mauricio Terrones and Humberto Terrones:
Harold Walter Kroto: A carbon scientist, humanist, spectroscopist,graphic designer, tennis player and friend (1939-2016)
and to visit a selection of Harry’s papers in Carbon and his entire specialCarbon issue on fullerenes:
