Graphene:Research into graphene wins Nobel Prize

Graphene:Research into graphene wins Nobel Prize:2010 Nobel Prize in physics on Tuesday for two sides in England with graphene material “groundbreaking” to use two professors from the University of Manchester was.
Andre Geim and Konstantin Novoselov both professors originally from Russia, are doing.
“I hope the Nobel prize this year was not because I thought that this year will be the year of astrophysics,” Geim by phone told reporters after winning.
Graphene is a two dimensional Geim at the University research group discovered by one of a kind of material Graphene industry, which says that has worked closely with Geim is at. Hexagonal array of carbon that contains nuclear, just like those found in bulk graphite, but the familiar three-dimensional material “basic different” is, in part because it is flexible.
“Two aspects of the discovery of content means that scientists now have access to content including all of dimensionalities, zero dimension (quantum dots, nuclear) and a factor (nanowires, carbon nanotubes)” Graphene According to industry.
Geim said that it is impossible for material of potential use in the series explains.
“100 years ago and think of some amazing features polymers, and this time, you do not know what to do with polymers – range of applications you can only think,” Geim said.
“I hope other two dimensional graphene crystals and the change in daily life as the plastic will be for humanity.”
Tuesday Nobel prize announced in a range of areas other day.
Chemistry Committee in the coming days, literature and peace prizes will be announced. Economics award will be announced on Monday.
Fiber optics and digital photography – two breakthroughs last year, three scientists, two major underpinnings of the digital era physics award for leadership.
