Graphene can be the perfect mesh for filtering different isotopes of hydrogen (w/video)
Graphene can simplify production of heavy water and help clean nuclear waste by filtering different isotopes of hydrogen, University of Manchester research indicates.Writing in Science ("Sieving hydrogen isotopes through two-dimensional crystals"), a team led by Sir Andre Geim demonstrated that using membranes made from graphene can act as a sieve, separating protons – nuclei of hydrogen – from heavier nuclei of hydrogen isotope deuterium.
