Discovery of Thinnest Material Ever Nabs Nobel Physics Prize
Graphene is the strongest and thinnest known material in existence, and its discovery six years ago has won University of Manchester professors Andre Geim and Konstantin Novoselov the 2010 Nobel Prize in Physics.
The Nokia N8 has a 12 megapixel camera with a wide-angle Carl Zeiss lens, variable aperture, 1/1.83-inch sensor, the largest on any mobile phone camera, and a xenon flash. The N8 can also record and playback videos in 720p resolution and has an HDMI-out, along with Dolby Digital Plus Surround sound feature that can output full 5.1 audio.
you can now pre-book the N8 from Nokia's official website for Rs. 26,259.
U.S., Japanese Scientists Share Nobel Prize for Chemistry
Three scientists will share the 2010 Nobel Prize in chemistry for a discovery that allows hard-to-match carbon to bind to other molecules using a metal called palladium. This allows certain materials that normally only reproduce in nature to be replicated in larger quantities in a lab.
American Richard Heck and Ei-Chi Negishi and Akira Suzuki, both of Japan, all made the same discovery independently, and will thus share the award this year.
