We demonstrate an in-situfabrication method that nucleates and controllably enlarges nanopores in electrolyte solution by applying ultra-short, high-voltage pulses across the graphenemembrane. This method can be used to rapidly produce graphenenanopores with subnanometer size accuracy in an apparatus free of nanoscale beams or tips.en-USnanoporesgraphenenanoporous materialsnanofabricationdnacell membranesJournal Article2016-09-1310.1063/1.4921620
