Hello. Your edits and interest in Metamaterials is much appreciated. I noticed in a couple of your recent edits you wrote that Victor Veselago was nominated for a Nobel Prize in 2011. I am unable to find any sources that say this. Can you provide sources that say he was nominated for a 2011 Nobel Prize? Unfortunately if no sources are available, then these statements will probably have to be removed from the Wikipedia articles. You can reply here and I will see it. Thanks in advance. Also, thanks again for your edits and interest. Regards. ---Steve Quinn (talk) 02:49, 13 March 2020 (UTC).
Dear Editors,
I thank You for control and help. A few publications in Russian one can find on website Yandex. I give the most reliable origin. He was professor of Moscow Institute of Physics and Technology (MIPT). On website of MIPT in Yandex: [1] is laid out the obituary of Prof. Veselago (in Russian). I translate here last sentence.- " Presidium of RAS awarded him Prize named after the Academician V. A. Fock. In 2009, Veselago was awarded the medal named after C. F. K. Mees. In 2010, the Optical Society elected him as a fellow of it. In 2010, he was nominated for Nobel Prize.
As a PhD myself, I would like to add that two acting Nobel laureates worked in Russia at the time.
Therefore, the information is reliable. Sir John Pendry is probably was nominated as well at the time.
I am interested to work with Editors further.
All the best
