Imagine tiny sheets, so small you can't even see them, stacked together to create a super thin membrane. These sheets, called nanosheets, are made from a type of clay called montmorillonite. Scientists have found a way to use these nanosheets to separate lithium (Li+) and magnesium (Mg2+) ions from
