Atomically thin hexagonal boron nitride ( h -BN) is often regarded as an elastic film that is impermeable to gases. The high stabilities in thermal and chemical properties allow h -BN to serve as a gas barrier under extreme conditions. Here, we demonstrate the isolation of hydrogen in bubbles of h -...
