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 ...

Now scientists have done the same trick with boron to form borophene, and it looks to be even more exciting than graphene. You can read a pretty dense paper about the material if you want to dig ...

The atom-thick borophene, with its high conductivity and attractive mechanical and electronic properties, is hailed as a new promising two-dimensional (2D) material as an alternative to graphene.

His groundbreaking research helped drive Northwestern’s leadership in materials science while contributing to advances in renewable energy and computing. His work includes the synthesis of borophene.

They are commonly observed in materials like copper, graphene, and borophene, particularly in the early growth stage and multilayer films. Since the microstructure directly impacts device ...

Thin film devices, composed of layers of materials a few nanometers thick, play an important role in various technologies, from semiconductors to ...
