Organic molecules with atoms of the semi-metal boron are important building blocks for synthesis products to produce drugs and agricultural chemicals. However, the conversion of substances commonly ...

Physicists synthesized 2D atom-thin sheets of boron with large crystal domains, which are needed to make next-gen electronics. Borophene -- two-dimensional (2-D) atom-thin-sheets of boron, a chemical ...

HOUSTON, April 23, 2007 -- A new study by Rice University scientists predicts the existence and stability of another "buckyball" consisting entirely of boron atoms. The research, which has been ...

A new microscopy technique allows scientists to see single-atom-thick boron nitride by making it glow under infrared light. Researchers from the Physical Chemistry and Theory departments at the Fritz ...

I'm sure you know that buckyballs are molecules composed entirely of carbon and got their name for famed architect Buckminster Fuller because of their shapes. Now, Rice University scientists have ...

One such material that has attracted considerable interest is borophene - a single-atom-thick sheet of boron atoms. First theoretically predicted in the 1990s, borophene remained elusive ...

Boron is not a word that comes to mind over small talk. You may have never even uttered the name of a rather uninteresting metal. But some of the chemical compounds that contain boron are very cool.

HOUSTON - (Jan. 26, 2017) - Hold on, there, graphene. You might think you're the most interesting new nanomaterial of the century, but boron might already have you beat, according to scientists at ...

A one-atom-thick layer of a graphene and boron nitride hybrid is visible to the naked eye when deposited on a glass slide. Researchers are able to achieve fine control of the new material’s ...

(Nanowerk News) Hold on, there, graphene. You might think you’re the most interesting new nanomaterial of the century, but boron might already have you beat, according to scientists at Rice University ...
