Thanks to the crystal structure of diamonds, with carbon atoms arranged into a lattice-like structure, diamond is top of the ...

Researchers have discovered how to move heat "like a beam of light" using a special kind of boron nitride crystal. This ...

Hexagonal close packing is one of two crystal structures that derive from stacking close-packed-planes of hard sphere atoms. In the HCP structure only two stacking ...

and the University of Montpellier have successfully synthesized wafer-scale hexagonal boron nitride (hBN) exhibiting an AA-stacking configuration, a crystal structure previously considered ...
