Ishikawa, Japan-- Boron nitride (BN) is a versatile material with applications in a variety of engineering and scientific fields. This is largely due to an interesting property of BN called ...

The two main types of boron nitride used in industry are hexagonal boron nitride (h-BN) and cubic boron nitride (c-BN). h-BN, particularly in its 2D form, is a stable material with electrical ...

Boron nitride (BN) is a chemically and thermally resistant compound composed of equal parts nitrogen and boron. It comes as a powder or a solid and shares structural and electronic similarities with ...

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 can ...

Pulickel Ajayan receives funding from the Army Research Laboratory and the Army Research Office. Abhijit Biswas does not work for, consult, own shares in or receive funding from any company or ...

Despite the huge technological interest in boron nitride (BN), understanding the relative stability of its different structural phases remains a challenge owing to conflicting results from experiments ...

The empirical formula of boron nitride (BN) is deceptive. BN is not at all like other diatomic molecules such as carbon monoxide (CO) and hydrogen chloride (HCl). Rather, it has much in common with ...
