With the Prof.Smalley’s death his work probably is not finished.
I see a possible correlation with his pathology and the nanoparticles he synthetized
It is urgent I analyze his biopsies. If I see the presence of those nanoparticles in his pathological tissues my hypothesis can be true. This knowledge can save the life of other researchers.

if we did not waste so much money on war we could have found a cure for cancer with the billions. thanks George w bush! you robbed me of Richard Smalley
Approximate translation of the previous comment:
A great loss the death of Smalley. Not only for his world-wide reputation, in particular for the Nobel Prize, but for the excellent theoretician and expositor of ideas, especially innovative. We will feel his lack.

Sorry, but I not speak English! Uma grande perda a morte de Smalley. Não apenas pelo seu renome mundial, em particular pelo prêmio Nobel, mas pelo excelente teórico e expositor de idéias, especialmente inovadoras. Sentiremos sua falta.

What a loss – what depresses me the most is that Richard won’t be able to enjoy the fruits of a technological revolution he himself helped pioneer. Dying from leukemia will be a thing of the past 20 years from now and it is tragic that we have to lose such a brilliant mind to this disease.
What is sure is that he won’t be forgotten – we all are standing on the shoulders of giants and he’s definitely one of them.
Richard – a brilliant man. You will be sorely missed.
My thoughts are with your family.
