## Description

- description: The engineering of atomically-precise nanopores in two-dimensional
    materials presents exciting opportunities for both fundamental science studies
    as well as applications in energy, DNA sequencing, and quantum information technologies.
    The exceptional chemical and thermal stability of hexagonal boron nitride (h-BN)
    suggest that exposed h-BN nanopores will retain their atomic structure even when
    subjected to extended periods of time in gas or liquid environments. We employ
    transmission electron microscopy to examine the time evolution of h- BN nanopores
    in vacuum and in air and find, even at room temperature, dramatic geometry changes
    due to atom motion and edge contamination adsorption, for timescales ranging from
    one hour to one week. The discovery of nanopore evolution contrasts with general
    expectations and has profound implications for nanopore applications of two-dimensional
    materials.
