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

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 ...

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

A nanostructured and transparent form of boron nitride is harder than some forms of diamond ...

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.

Yongjun Tian and the other researchers started with onion-like boron nitride particles shaped a bit like a flaky rose — or, as Tian describes them, like Matryoshka dolls.

Science Boron Nitride harder than diamond, but only momentarily Researchers working with a form of boron nitride discovered a unique mechanism … ...

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 report that treatment with a superacid causes boron nitride layers to separate into atomically thick sheets, while creating binding sites on the surface of these sheets that provide ...
