TL;DR: Theoretical design and experimental realization of novel nanoporous architectures in carbon membranes has been a success story in recent times as mentioned in this paper, and graphynes, an interesting class of materials in carbon flatland, have contributed immensely to this success story.

TL;DR: A review of the recent theoretical developments probing the permeation of various species such as atoms, ions, small molecules, and biopolymers like DNA through carbon frameworks like graphynes, graphdiyne, graphenylenes, and various forms of nanoporous graphene, including graphene crown ethers as discussed by the authors.

TL;DR: This review aims to draw the attention of the theoretical as well as the experimental researchers working on two-dimensional carbon materials toward the recent theoretical developments probing the permeation of various species through carbon frameworks like graphynes, graphdiyne, graphenylenes, and various forms of nanoporous graphene.

TL;DR: This work examines the competing nature of the zero-point energy effects and tunneling effects in governing the total quantum transmission of the isotopes and suggests that crown ether embedded graphene nanomeshes are a class of promising carbon membranes for He isotope separation.

TL;DR: The proposed implementation involves integrating the continuum approximation for CNTs with the well-known swarm intelligence technique, particle swarm optimization (PSO), followed by a deterministic local optimization, to predict the optimal CNT radii for the encapsulation of each of the clusters.
