Když se Kosťa Novoselov chystal v Manchesteru v roce 2003 sloupnout obyčejnou lepicí páskou několik vrstviček z krystalu grafitu, zřejmě ještě netušil, že startuje novou éru v nanotechnologickém výzkumu - éru dvojrozměrných (2D) neboli jednovrstvých materiálů; a že za to bude o deset let později spolu s prof. Andre Geimem přebírat Nobelovu cenu za fyziku. Podařilo se mu totiž nečekané - izolovat jedinou vrstvu tvořenou atomy uhlíku uspořádaných do vrcholů pravidelných šestiúhelníků, tedy grafen. and Otakar Frank, Ladislav Kavan, Martin Kalbáč.
The DØ Experiment consists of a worldwide collaboration of scientists conducting research of the fundamental nature of matter. The experiment is located at the world´s premier high-energy accelerator, the Tevatron Collider, at the Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory (Fermilab) in Batavia, Illinois, USA. The research is focused on precise studies of interactions of protons and antiprotons at the highest available energies. It involves and intense search for subatomic clues that reveal the character of the building blocks of the universe. and Alexander Kupčo, Miloš Lokajíček.
The European Academies Science Advisory Council was formed by the national science academies of EU Member States to enable them to collaborate with each other in providing advice to European policy-makers. It thus offers the means for the collective voice of European science to be heard. The EASAC covers all scientific and technical disciplines, and its experts are drawn from all coutries of the European Union. The most recent EASAC meeting was held in June 2008 in Prague. and Luděk Svoboda, Gabriela Adámková.
