Researchers from the Max-Planck-Institut fuer Kernphysik present new experimental and theoretical results for the bound ...

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

Unlike systems such as graphene on copper, where atoms may diffuse into the substrate without forming a distinct alloy, the boron atoms in this case formed a defined 2D copper boride ⎯ a new ...

One atomic layer thick boron nitrides (BN), the thinnest insulator in nature, has been found to be an ideal material to block such disturbances. However, previous approaches found it hard to ...

Centromeres, specialized regions located at the center of chromosomes, are critical for ensuring proper cell division. During ...

Ever since graphene’s discovery 2 decades ago, the iconic 1-atom-thick sheet of carbon has inspired researchers to create a ...

Researchers have observed hydrogen and deuterium molecules in tiny spaces called picocavities using advanced spectroscopy. This study reveals unique differences between the molecules due to quantum ...

The nitrides of aluminium, gallium and indium have the hexagonal wurtzite structure. The nitride of boron, the lightest of the group III elements, has a graphite-like hexagonal layer lattice.

The predicted structure represents a new type of superhard boron carbides that form under high pressure without the presence of boron icosahedrons, which encourages experimental exploration in this ...
