Scientists have created a scalable cryogenic process for producing borophene sheets that efficiently harvest energy from motion, enabling next-generation flexible electronics. (Nanowerk Spotlight) ...

Borophene is thinner, more conductive, lighter and stronger than graphene. Scientists at Penn State, Pennsylvania, have now altered it to make it even more functional. They did this by imparting ...

Move over, graphene. There’s a new, improved two-dimensional material in the lab. Borophene, the atomically thin version of boron first synthesized in 2015, is more conductive, thinner, lighter, ...

Article Views are the COUNTER-compliant sum of full text article downloads since November 2008 (both PDF and HTML) across all institutions and individuals. These metrics are regularly updated to ...

Boron is also extensively used in the fertiliser industry. Boron is a semiconductor. Atom flat borophene may get the world to wearable and transparent electronics (finally!). And yes, you can do ...

Liquid crystals derived from borophene have risen in popularity, owing to their applicability in optoelectronic and photonic devices. However, their development requires a very narrow temperature ...

Abstract: In this letter, the effect of transition metal (TM) adsorption on the magnetic and electronic properties of borophene nanosheets is investigated. The borophene surface is modified by TMs, ...

Monolayer borophene (triangular boron monolayer) was first synthesized on a substrate in 2015, as reported in Science. This opened up a new era for boron nanosheets, although challenges remained for ...

For the first time, Northwestern University engineers have created a double layer of atomically flat borophene, a feat that defies the natural tendency of boron to form non-planar clusters beyond the ...
