More than ten years ago, researchers at Rice University led by materials scientist Boris Yakobson predicted that boron atoms would cling too tightly to copper to form borophene, a flexible, metallic ...

A new technique has measured boron in individual cancer cells for the first time, enabling researchers to better understand how drugs act to kill tumors in some cancers.

BUFFALO, N.Y. – Moiré patterns occur everywhere. They are created by layering two similar but not identical geometric designs. A common example is the pattern that sometimes emerges when viewing a ...

In Paris last year the Curie-Joliots bombarded a piece of lithium with alpha particles, produced neutrons and boron atoms. The scientific world at that time was engrossed with neutrons whose existence ...

Boron carbide is a superhard ceramic renowned for its low density, exceptional hardness and thermal stability. Its unique microstructure—comprising icosahedral clusters linked by inter-icosahedral ...
