Graphene Supermaterial Goes Superpermeable: Can Be Used to Distill Alcohol

Reference: http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2012/01/120126100639.htm

Summary: Graphene is one of the wonders of the science world, with the potential to create foldaway mobile phones, wallpaper thin lighting panels and the next generation of aircraft. The new finding at the University of Manchester, gives graphene's potential a most surprising dimension graphene can also be used for distilling alcohol. Water evaporates through them as quickly as if the membranes were not there at all.

Critique: Good article, kinda interesting that graphene can distilling alcohol and how water evaporates through them as quickly as if the membrance were not there at all.

Impact: Possibly could help some the drinkers or others.
