First, the ultra-thin material creates a physical barrier that the proboscis—the appendage mosquitoes use to acquire their "blood meal," as the researchers put it—can't puncture. More surprisingly, their experiments also showed that graphene might be responsible for blocking the chemical signals mosquitoes use to sense where their next meal is in the first place, essentially acting like a kind of "force field" against the pesky, disease-carrying insects.
