In an attempt to identify new 2D materials, a group of researchers from Ames National Laboratory have identified the structure of boron monoxide. In the 1940s, this compound was first discovered and ...

Boron, a chemical element next to carbon in the periodic table, is known for its unique ability to form complex bond networks. Unlike carbon, which typically bonds with two or three neighboring atoms, ...

For the first time, Northwestern University engineers have created a double layer of atomically flat borophene, a feat that defies the natural tendency of boron to form non-planar clusters beyond the ...

In a study that combines groundbreaking experimental work and theoretical calculations, researchers have determined the nuclear geometry of two isotopes of boron. The result could help open a path to ...

Since its rediscovery and characterization in 2004, graphene has been the focus of countless research efforts across multiple fields. It is a very versatile material consisting of a two-dimensional ...

New model explains stability and electronic behavior of boron nanostructures from hollow clusters to ultrathin 2D layers, linking them to atomic coordination. (Nanowerk News) Boron, a chemical element ...

Engineers have created a double layer of atomically flat borophene, a feat that defies the natural tendency of boron to form non-planar clusters beyond the single-atomic-layer limit. For the first ...
