Abstract
Researchers at Cornell University's Center for Materials Research have created a balloon-like membrane that is just one atom thick, but strong enough to contain gases under several atmospheres of pressure without popping. The membrane, which uses a lump of graphite, a piece of Scotch tape, and a silicon wafer, is ultrastrong, leakproof, and impermeable to even nimble helium atoms.
