Scientists at Cornell University in the Us, created a balloon- like membrane, world’s thinnest till date, on September 23, 2008. It is one atom thick but strong enough to contain gases under several atmophere of pressure.
The scientists used a lump of graphite , a piece of Scotch tape and a silicon wafer. Unlike normal balloons, the membrane is , in fact ultra-strong leak proof as well as impermeable to even nimble helium atoms.
