The atoms of the 5th element of the periodic table often find themselves in the company of each other, forming allotropes with a rich variety of structural motifs, each carrying a unique set of ...

Researchers have developed a boron nitride and polymer coating that reflects sunlight, radiates heat, and conducts Joule heat ...

The two main types of boron nitride used in industry are hexagonal boron nitride (h-BN) and cubic boron nitride (c-BN). h-BN, particularly in its 2D form, is a stable material with electrical ...

With uses across multiple industries, some of which are in the process of explosive growth, boron looks set to experience a supercycle of its own. While the major EV battery metals have stolen much of ...

New NMR experiments on synthetic granitic glasses show that the aluminum saturation index, not water or boron content, ...

RIKEN chemists have demonstrated a method to synthesize organic compounds that contain the element boron. Organoboron compounds are used in a wide range of drugs, including those for treating cancer, ...

Boron carbide is one of the hardest materials known to science, and its application in advanced body armor is currently being ...

Most current fusion power projects require tritium – an incredibly scarce and problematic fuel. TAE is targeting cheaper, safer hydrogen-boron (H-B) fusion, and it's just announced a world-first ...
