    Andre Geim was awarded the 2010 Nobel Prize in Physics for his groundbreaking experiments with graphene. He was born in 1958 in Russia and has worked at several European universities. Geim helped produce graphene for the first time in 2004 while working at the University of Manchester. Graphene is only one atom thick yet is very strong and conductive, opening up new possibilities in materials and electronics.

    Life

    Andre Geim was born in Sochi, Russia, to a family with German heritage. He spent
    the first seven years of his life living with his maternal grandparents. It was not until
    later that he discovered that both his paternal grandfather and his father, who
    were physicists, had spent several years imprisoned in labor camps. Since
    receiving his PhD in physics from the Russian Academy of Sciences in
    Chernogolovka, Andre Geim has worked at several European universities,
    including in Nijmegen, Netherlands. Geim has held a position at the University of
    Manchester in the UK since 2001. He is married with children.

    Work

    Carbon exists in several different natural forms. A material consisting of carbon


    atoms arranged in a hexagonal lattice and only one atom thick was long
    considered a purely theoretical construction. In 2004 Andre Geim and Konstantin
    Novoselov successfully produced this material, graphene, and mapped its
    properties: incredibly thin but still incredibly strong, good heat and electrical
    conductivity, almost entirely transparent yet very dense. Graphene creates new
    possibilities within materials technology and electronics.
