Proceedings of a March 1998 meeting, reporting on advances in a field where solid state physics and molecular physics overlap. Contains sections on nanotube preparations and experiments, theory, fullerenes, fullerides, endohedrals, clusters, and applications. Specific topics include molecular dynamics of single wall nanotubes, electronic structure and transport in nanotube ropes, synthesis and properties of novel fullerene derivatives, two-dimensional fulleride polymers, and plasmon excitations in carbon onions.
