In this installment of the nanotech series, I discuss a new development that I've been hearing a lot about recently in nanotech circles: holey graphene. Why would you want to purposefully make holes in graphene? Doesn't that lower its quality and effectiveness? What's the deal? It turns out graphene in holes can be really useful as well, as I discuss here!
