It can clean nuclear wastewater. Scientists from University of Manchester, UK, created a new graphene membrane that can find numerous incredible uses in the nuclear power sector. More precisely, it can distinguish between lighter hydrogen atoms, with one proton nuclei, and heavy isotope that has both proton and a […]

However, researchers from MIT, Oak Ridge National Laboratory, have discovered that although the material seems impenetrable, by building large membranes from single sheets of graphene grown by chemical vapour deposition, small […]
