Congratulations to the two Russian Mancunians, Andrei Geim and Konstantin Novoselov, on winning the Nobel Prize for Physics.
The award is for the discovery of graphene, a useful material consisting of a single layer of carbon atoms. It promises revolutionize electronics and computing.
Strange that I did not hear anything about it on BBC News just now.
Still we know how little importance the beeb gives to science. Don't we?

Yes indeed congratulations are deserved But 'Russian Mancunians'? Poetic licence I assume? |

How times of changed. At one time it would have been British scientists working/researching in the UK, now it's foreign scientists working in the UK. How long before the headline will say, "Foreign scientists who once visited the UK "!!! The rise and fall of British science?  P |

They'd never have got through the traffic! ...and when they went to Liverpool, they'd have had the tracks 'nicked' off their T72's |
