The account deals with a central mystery of the fullerene story: How are they made How can the fullerenes in general, and C[sub 60] in particular, possibly, be made spontaneously in high yield simply by condensing carbon vapor in a special way The mystery of how this happens in the case of carbon is still by no means fully resolved. Theories of this process are discussed.
