As joint-winner of this year’s Nobel Prize for Physics - awarded for the creation of the 'wonder material' graphene - Andre Geim has become a 'poster boy' for the success of UK physics. In an ...

I've been in Israel already for six weeks on my teaching gig at the Bialik-Rogozin School, a K-12 in a poor neighborhood, perhaps the poorest neighborhood of Tel Aviv. Almost half the pupils are ...

The University of Manchester's Andre Geim and Konstantin Novoselov won the Nobel Prize in Physics for their research on the electronic and other properties of single-atom thick graphene, a form of ...

Two Russian-born scientists shared the Nobel Prize in physics on Tuesday for "groundbreaking experiments'' with the thinnest, strongest material known to mankind, a carbon vital for the creation of ...

In the scientific community, the area of graphene has been generating the type of buzz more akin to the newest Steven Spielberg summer blockbuster than a new class of two-dimensional materials. Which ...

The star of the physics world today is a new form of carbon: graphene. It's the world's thinnest material, and also perhaps the strongest. The two scientists who discovered graphene in 2004, Andre ...

(Nanowerk News) Andre Konstantin Geim is the only person who ever received both a Nobel and an Ig Nobel. He was born in 1958 in Russia, and is a Dutch-British physicist with German, Polish, Jewish and ...

Why is Christian Science in our name? Our name is about honesty. The Monitor is owned by The Christian Science Church, and we’ve always been transparent about that. The Church publishes the Monitor ...

Russian-born scientists Andre Geim and Konstantin Novoselov shared the Nobel Prize in physics Tuesday for "groundbreaking experiments" with a new material expected to play a large role in electronics.

Everything in our three-dimensional world has a width, length and height. That was what we thought, at least. But this picture overlooks a whole class of materials: crystals one atom or molecule thick ...
