A new coating for glass developed by Rice University researchers and collaborators could help reduce energy bills, especially ...

A fascinating look at why researchers believe using boron nitride as an electronics insulator could lead to broader technological progress and better device performance.

Just as carbon makes up both the brittle core of a No. 2 pencil and the harder-than-steel diamond in a cutting tool, boron nitride gives rise to compounds that can be soft or hard. Yet, unlike ...

Chemists use their flash Joule heating process to synthesize 2D flakes of boron nitride and boron carbon nitride, highly valued for lending thermal and chemical stability to compounds.

Two forms of the same boron nitride molecules couldn’t look and act more different – but combining them could lead to applications that have the best of both worlds.

Scientists at Rice University have succeeded in making energy-saving window coatings from boron nitride at room temperature.

Study shows a unique arrangement of these two materials creates a moiré pattern that may unlock graphene’s great potential.

Engineers synthesized aligned forests of nanoscale fibers made of boron nitride, or 'white graphene.' They hope to harness the technique to fabricate bulk-scale arrays of these nanotubes, which ...

And he’ll be able to—for the first time—grow large-diameter crystals of cubic boron nitride. While all nitrides are hard to grow, cubic boron nitride is particularly challenging.

A new wearable uses boron nitride nanotubes and AI to monitor knee torque in real time, offering accurate, low-cost joint ...
