The Tail of the Soot

Higher Fullerenes and the Discipline of the Remainder

Slop University's Strategic Plan 2026-2031 declines to compete in the supply or routine study of the sixty-atom carbon cage and commits the institution to the higher fullerenes that remain in a soot extract once the abundant cages are taken off. Its four priorities treat separation campaigns as research outputs in their own right, hold every isolated isomer in a single custodial archive graded by provenance, and require every soot extract the University produces to be processed beyond the abundant fractions before disposal.
