Russian-born scientists Andre Geim and Konstantin Novoselov shared the Nobel Prize in physics for “groundbreaking experiments” with an atom-thin material expected to play a large role in electronics. The Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences cited Geim and Novoselov, who are both linked to universities in Britain, for experiments with graphene, a flake of carbon that is only one atom thick. Experiments with graphene could lead to the development of new material and “the manufacture of innovative electronics,” including faster computers, the citation said. Geim, 51, is a Dutch national while Novoselov, 36, holds British and Russian citizenship. Both are natives of Russia and started their careers in physics there.
Note : The Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences has decided to award the Nobel Prize in Physics 2016 with one half to David J. Thouless(University of Washington, Seattle, WA, USA)and the other half to F. Duncan M. Haldane(Princeton University, NJ, US) and J. Michael Kosterlitz(Brown University, Providence, RI, USA) “for theoretical discoveries of topological phase transitions and topological phases of matter”.

Saul Perlmutter is an American astrophysicist at the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory and a professor of physics at the University of California, Berkeley. He is a member of the American Academy of Arts & Sciences, and was elected a Fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science in 2003. He is also a member of the National Academy of Sciences. Perlmutter shared both the 2006 Shaw Prize in Astronomy and the 2011 Nobel Prize in Physics with Brian P. Schmidt and Adam Riess for providing evidence that the expansion of the universe is accelerating.
