Since the discovery of graphene in 2004, various 2D materials with diverse chemical compositions and interconnected physical properties have gained a lot of interest as prospective candidates for ...

Monolayer hBN consists of a single layer of boron and nitrogen atoms arranged in a honeycomb pattern. Recently, defects in hBN crystals have been identified as color centers, with some being ...

(Nanowerk News) In the field of 2D electronics, the norm used to be that graphene is the main protagonist and hexagonal boron nitride (hBN) is its insulating passive support. Researchers of the Center ...

(Nanowerk News) Industrial metals face an unrelenting threat from corrosion and degradation that drains trillions annually. Yet effective large-scale protection has remained elusive, frustrating both ...

Dongguk University and other Korean researchers have made wafer scale hexagonal boron nitride films with a nearly perfect single-crystalline structure. The film self-assembles on top of liquid gold.

Ag nanoparticles attached to the surface of hexagonal boron nitride nanosheets enhance the load-bearing and lubrication capabilities of the nanosheets. The Ag-attached hexagonal boron nitride ...
