Russian born scientists Andre Geim and Konstantin Novoselov were awarded the Nobel Physics Prize for their pioneering work on GRAPHENE - touted as wonderful material of 21st century.
Both laureates began their career as physicists in Russia but now work at the university of Manchester in Britain.
Just one atom thick, it is the world's thinnest n strongest nano material, almost transparent and able to conduct electricity n heat..
Graphene transistors in theory be cake to run at faster speeds and cope with higher temperatures than today's computer chips.
Transparency means it could potentially be used in touch screens n even solar cells..... Also for next gen satellites, planes, cars..
