Researchers from Pohang University of Science and Technology (POSTECH) and the University of Montpellier have successfully synthesized wafer-scale hexagonal boron nitride (hBN) exhibiting an AA ...

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 ...

Graphene and a form of boron nitride called hexagonal boron nitride fall into the latter group. Graphene is made up of carbon atoms. Boron nitride, BN, is composed of boron and nitrogen atoms.

An emerging solution is reinforcing hydrogels with nanoparticles to form nanocomposite hydrogels. In particular, incorporating boron nitride (BN) creates a unique class of mechanically robust and ...

Just as carbon makes up both the brittle core of a No. 2 pencil and the harder-than-steel diamond in a cutting tool, boron nitride gives rise to compounds that can be soft or hard. Yet ...

For more than 10 years, scientists have been experimenting with the moiré pattern that emerges when a sheet of graphene is placed between two sheets of boron nitride. The resulting moiré pattern has ...

Chemists use their flash Joule heating process to synthesize 2D flakes of boron nitride and boron carbon nitride, highly valued for lending thermal and chemical stability to compounds. Rice ...

Scientists create the first boron nitride nanotube fibers using the custom wet-spinning process they developed to make carbon nanotube fibers. Boron nitride nanotubes used to be hard to process ...

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 ...

LONDON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--The global hexagonal boron nitride market size is poised to grow by USD 237.86 million during 2020-2024, progressing at a CAGR of almost 6% throughout the forecast period ...

A fascinating look at why researchers believe using boron nitride as an electronics insulator could lead to broader technological progress and better device performance. Electronics engineers ...
