Two scientists Russia divided Nobel Physics

The Swedish Academy of Sciences website has said that two Russian scientists, Andre Geim and Konstantin Novoselov, who are currently studying at Manchester University, have won the 2010 Nobel Prize for Physics.

They were honored for their groundbreaking pioneering experiments involving 2-dimensional graphene materials.

The Swedish Academy of Sciences calls graphene " the perfect atomic lattice barrier ".

Geim, 51, was born in Sochi and Novoselov, 36, was born in Nizhny Tagil. Graphene is considered to be the most " thin " material available today.

The Vietnam Science and Technology Information Network said: " Graphene is envisioned as a thin nanotube (nanotube), due to the same main material as carbon molecules, the thickness of this molecular layer can be One-atom-thickness sheet Under this electron microscope, this carbon molecule has the shape of a mesh. "

" It has many properties of nanotubes, but is easier to make and change; therefore it can be used more in making objects that need delicate, flexible, flexible materials. Physicists have begun using graphene in the laboratory to make conductors and to test quantum phenomena . "

The Nobel Prize has a prize value of $ 1.5 million, a certificate and a medal.

" I'm fine, sleep well. I don't expect to win the Nobel Prize this year, " Dr. Geim said when he learned he won the prize. He said his work plan for one day will not change. He continued to work and pursue his studies.
