The message reads, in part:
“You are talented scientists, graduates of Russia’s famous Moscow Institute of Physics and Technology, and have achieved outstanding scientific results.
I am genuinely pleased that you have won this prize and I wish you further success, good fortune, and all the very best.”
The 2010 Nobel Prize in Physics was awarded to two Russian scientists working in Britain, Konstantin Novoselov (born 1974) and Andre Geim (born 1958). Both laureates graduated from the Moscow Institute of Physics and Technology.
