Several problems with the factual accuracy of the supporting documents issued by the Nobel committee have been pointed out, including that they seem to wrongly attribute the discovery of graphene to Geim and Novoselov, and they did not take into account other contributions to graphene research, like those from Walter de Heer and Philip Kim. 10.1038/468486a 468 Nobel document triggers debate 2010 Nature 486 Samuel Reich Eugenie 7323 21107397 2010Natur.468..486R free Peace Led by pressure from China, several countries boycotted the awards ceremony in Norway due to the Peace Prize's awarding to Liu.
