From IgNoble to Nobel
Interesting to see that André Geim, the scientist mentioned in one my
first posts
here for being awarded the Ignoble prize for improbable research, has now received the Nobel Prize for Physics for work on the properties of graphene.
Here
Geim explains how big business could prevent him from patenting graphene while
here
he talks about the serendipitous nature of the discovery.
