Nobel-Worthy Graphene Work Promises Smaller, Greener Chips
Physicists Andre Geim and Konstantin Novoselov of the University of Manchester in England have been awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics 2010 for what the committee described as "groundbreaking experiments" on graphene. A sheet of graphene is just one atom thick, works as a superb conductor of electricity and heat, is almost transparent, but is so dense that no atoms can pass through it.
