Two Russian-born scientists won the Nobel Prize in Physics for discovering graphene, a one-atom-thick “wonder material” that may transform electronics, allowing for speedier computers and folding touch screens.
Andre Geim, 51, now a Dutch citizen, and Konstantin Novoselov, 36, both professors at the University of Manchester in the U.K., will share the 10 million-Swedish kronor ($1.5 million) prize, the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences said today in Stockholm.
