The Nobel Prize for Physics has recently been awarded to Andre Geim and Konstantin Novoselov, of the University of Manchester in Great Britain for" their revolutionary experiments on a two-dimensional material, graphene. Firstly, graphene is ofgreat theoretical interest for physicists... The electronic properties of these materials are sensitive to their environment
"We are really looking for great things from this family ofmaterials", emphasized Michel Parlier. Ceramics have been a little neglected recently but they still have something to reveal to us: the latest generations of eutectic" ceramics are very promising for engines, while ceramic composites- more traditional- have had a new lease of life with the development of low-cost processes
