Nanotech News #2: Holey Graphene! : A New Type of Transistor

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!
