Here we report the atomic structure of the amorphous shear bands in boron carbide characterized by state-of-the-art aberration-corrected transmission electron microscopy. Distorted icosahedra ...

More than ten years ago, researchers at Rice University led by materials scientist Boris Yakobson predicted that boron atoms ...

and these can be emitted by defects in the atomically thin insulator hexagonal boron nitride (hBN). Missing nitrogen atoms have been suggested to be the atomic structure responsible for this ...

Scientists have discovered a brand-new material with a unique atomic structure—something they weren’t even looking for. While ...

As published Monday (Aug. 15) in Nature Materials, the research team used electron spin qubits as atomic ... boron nitride, which can exist in a single layer, was built in 2019 by removing a boron ...

That is, until researchers got their hands on an alternate crystal structure of boron nitride and observed a unique atomic bond rearrangement under high stresses. These vaulted it above diamond ...

Stable sheet: in this illustration of the atomic structure of double layer borophene, all spheres are boron, with the pink spheres specifically ... each several microns across and separated by ...
