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 ...

Researchers have demonstrated that mounting graphene on boron nitride instead ... chicken wire structure -- holds great promise for microelectronics. Only one atom thick and highly conductive ...

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 ...

Boron is a multipurpose element ... to determine how it was originally bonded in the atom cluster, allowing the researchers to map out the structure, which they call a borospherene.

In nanotechnology, the position of a single atom can make all the difference ... Defining the exact atomic structure of everyday solids, as opposed to those of nanostructured ones, is relatively ...

Graphene is an exceptionally strong and conductive material composed of a single atomic layer of carbon ... to form a hexagonal structure with a boron atom sitting in the center, much like ...

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 ...
