The discovery of buckyballs -- soccer-ball-shaped molecules of carbon -- helped usher in the nanotechnology era. Now, researchers have shown that boron, carbon's neighbor on the periodic table, can ...

(Nanowerk News) Seeking for low-dimensional boron allotropes has attracted considerable interest in the past decades and tremendous theoretical works predict the existence of monolayer boron. As boron ...

Graphene and hexagonal Boron Nitride possesses exceptional chemical and physical properties. Recent experimental results ...

It has long been thought that it is theoretically possible to take a planar three-dimensional structure by bonding boron atoms to each other and creating regular hexagonal holes (holes) in the center.

The discovery of soccer-ball-shaped buckminsterfullerene in 1985 inspired researchers to lock atoms of a single element together into novel shapes, such as nanotubes, for applications in drug delivery ...

Ishikawa, Japan-- Boron nitride (BN) is a versatile material with applications in a variety of engineering and scientific fields. This is largely due to an interesting property of BN called ...
