Sir Konstantin Sergeevich Novoselov (Russian: Константи́н Серге́евич Новосёлов, IPA: [kənstɐnʲˈtʲin sʲɪrˈɡʲe(j)ɪvʲɪtɕ nəvɐˈsʲɵləf]; born 23 August 1974)[3] is a Russian–British physicist.
[9] He graduated from the Moscow Institute of Physics and Technology with a MSc degree in 1997,[3] and was awarded a PhD from the Radboud University of Nijmegen in 2004[2] for work supervised by Andre Geim.
[10] Novoselov has published 475[11] peer-reviewed research papers on several topics including mesoscopic superconductivity (Hall magnetometry) as of January 2024 [12] subatomic movements of magnetic domain walls,[13] the discovery of gecko tape[14] and graphene.
[19] Novoselov was the first Director of the National Graphene Institute[20][21][22][23] and sits on the International Scientific Advisory Committee of Australia's ARC Centre of Excellence in Future Low-Energy Electronics Technologies.
[31] With $200 million in funding over 10 years provided by the Ministry of Education and NUS, the centre will work on making ground-breaking discoveries into what are called functional intelligent materials.
[66] In 2018, in a project of exploration of the archives of the Jodrell Bank Observatory, Prof. Novoselov helped Prof. Tim O'Brian to transcribe radio transmission (most possibly simulated instrument reading) from the Soviet Zond 6 received by radio telescope at Jodrell Bank Observatory in November 1968.
Novoselov suggested that he also exfoliated graphite obtained from the drawings of other prominent artists: John Constable, Pablo Picasso, J. M. W. Turner, Thomas Girtin.
Later, they've got to diverge a little bit because scientists will start to look at the common elements between many of the phenomena to describe the most general law, and artists will probably try to study individuals rather than the crowd as a whole.
Nine ink paintings by Prof. Novoselov were shown at the exhibition "Britain Through the Eyes of a Chinese Diplomat" at the University of Leeds.
