And the Nobel Prize in Physics goes too...

Andre Geim and Konstantin Novoselov of the University of Manchester in England.  The prize was awarded to them for there isolation of single carbon thick polymers known as graphene.  While graphene has not yet made its ways into manufactured use, it is incredibly light and as strong as steel.  This discovery has the potential to revolutionalize material science just as polymers did decades ago.
