Cubic boron nitride, a synthetic material, comes in at second place. That is, until researchers got their hands on an alternate crystal structure of boron nitride and observed a unique atomic bond ...

Here we report the atomic structure of the amorphous shear bands in boron carbide characterized by state-of-the-art aberration-corrected transmission electron microscopy. Distorted icosahedra ...

A newly discovered two-dimensional boron structure possesses properties superior to those of graphene. The National Nanotechnology Initiative defines nanotechnology as the understanding and ...

But now, scientists have found a similar structure of boron that could prove equally exciting. Researchers from Brown, Shanxi, and Tsinghua Universities in China have discovered that boron can ...

More than ten years ago, researchers at Rice University led by materials scientist Boris Yakobson predicted that boron atoms ...

In an effort to discover new 2D materials, a team of scientists from Ames National Laboratory determined the structure of boron monoxide. This compound was first discovered in the 1940s and maintained ...
