DESCRIPTION
MIT engineers have found a way to directly "pinprick" microscopic holes into graphene as the material is grown in the lab. With this technique, they have fabricated relatively large sheets of graphene ("large," meaning roughly the size of a postage stamp), with pores that could make filtering certain molecules out of solutions vastly more efficient.
