The carbon-based material graphene can help scientists study liquids more clearly using high-power microscopes.
Graphene, often described as a "miracle material", can be used to distil alcohol, according to a new study in the Science journal.
Two Nobel laureates involved in creating graphine, a flat sheet of carbon just one atom thick, are among the scientists recognised in the New Year Honours.
