Quantum Buckyball, 2004

Bronze, diameter 2' (60 cm)

Private collection

This piece was inspired by research I participated in as a graduate student demonstrating that single C-60 buckyballs (Buckminsterfullerenes) "go through two openings at once", showing genuine quantum behavior despite their large size.
