Liquid crystals derived from borophene have risen in popularity, owing to their immense applicability in optoelectronic and photonic devices ... "Although a liquid crystal device using graphene ...

It would also allow for simpler direct evaluation of borophene (without lifting it from the substrate) for its plasmonic and photonic—that ... growth of the new crystal forming on its surface.

Calculations have shown that borophene, which was first synthesized in 2015, should have properties comparable to graphene that could make it useful in batteries and other devices. But researchers ...

In the past, specialized versions have also been used to "store" light. In essence, a photonic crystal tuned to a specific wavelength will absorb a pulse of light and remain in a high-energy state ...

Photonic crystals are made by etching patterned nanopores into a substrate such as a silicon wafer. These patterned structures are specially designed to make the crystal’s refractive index vary ...
