    Description

    March 20 (UPI) -- Scientists have found a way to turn 2D materials into a sieve capable of separating different atoms from each other.

    When pushed through the tiny gap between the layers of 2D materials like hexagonal boron nitride or molybdenum disulphide, the atoms of two different hydrogen isotopes can be separated.
