Submission + - Nobel Prize in Physics for Graphene Research (npr.org)
eldavojohn writes: Andre Geim and Konstantin Novoselov, two Russian born physicists, will receive the Nobel Prize for Physics for their work on graphene research. Graphene's long been a topic of discussion on Slashdot with the very same researchers noted in 2007 for their work in the UK on the first graphene transistor. Subsequent research figured out how to make ultracapacitors out of graphene, get theoretically speedy results from the transistors (and in practice), make memory unimaginably denser and the single atom thick carbon material has even enjoyed advances in fabrication. If you wish to congratulate them, you can post on the Nobel Prize site.
