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

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

It is the hardest known material. Cubic boron nitride is not destroyed by contact with iron and steel, which makes a tool almost "invulnerable".

Cubic boron nitride is not destroyed by contact with iron and steel, which makes a tool almost "invulnerable." "Nobody has synthesized cubic boron nitride coatings in the form of polycrystalline ...

A thin coating of the 2D nanomaterial hexagonal boron nitride is the key ingredient in a cost-effective technology for desalinating industrial-strength brine.

Hexagonal boron nitride offers excellent lubricating and release properties, making it ideal for use in coatings and mold release applications.

A thin coating of the 2D nanomaterial hexagonal boron nitride is the key ingredient in a cost-effective technology developed by engineers for desalinating industrial-strength brine.

Boron Nitride Coatings are entirely inorganic, can be diluted with water to spraying and dipping consistencies and applied to a variety of porous and non-porous materials including graphite, metals, ...

An interdisciplinary group of scientists and engineers has synthesised a hexagonal boron nitride (hBN) monolayer that shows an excellent corrosion resistance, with the potential to be employed in the ...

A thin coating of the 2D nanomaterial hexagonal boron nitride is the key ingredient in a cost-effective technology developed by Rice University engineers for desalinating industrial-strength brine.

Atomically thin sheets of hexagonal boron nitride (h-BN) have the handy benefit of protecting what's underneath from oxidizing even at very high temperatures, Rice University researchers have ...
