Nobel Prize awarded for the discovery of Graphene
October 2010
The School of EEE is delighted with the news that Professors Andre Geim and Kostya Novoselov have been awarded the Nobel prize in Physics. The prize winners have been working with academics in the School on the development of their new material graphene. For EEE the impact of this material is likely to lead to:
- Microchips that run applications 100’s of time faster than is currently possible
- New brighter display technologies for mobile phones and laptops
- Next generation carbon based NanoElectronics to revolutionise medical and chemical sensing
