Boron, carbon, nitrogen and oxygen: these four elements can form chemical triple bonds with each other due to their similar electronic properties. Examples of this are the gas carbon monoxide ...

Eliminating acid and base treatments from conventional desalination plants could save billions of dollars worldwide, making ...

The initial results came in. Colored spikes appeared on a computer screen, announcing the presence of boron, carbon, hydrogen and possibly some nitrogen. Based on the findings so far, the ...

Professor Yap is interested in the fundamentals of synthesis, characterization, and applications of quantum materials and nanostructures, including B-C-N nanomaterials (carbon, boron nitride, boron ...

A solar farm in the Mojave Desert is destroying thousands of iconic Joshua trees. It could be the tip of the iceberg as the ...

In addition to carbon nanotubes, other nanotube materials are emerging. Most prominent among them are boron nitride nanotubes, also known as BNNT. First theorized in 1994, BNNT represents a new class ...

In a new study published in Physical Review Letters, researchers have now tackled highly charged boron-like tin ions with only five remaining electrons. The goal is to study the inter-electronic ...

The presence of carbon introduces excess charge carriers ... More information: Seokho Moon et al, Wafer-scale AA-stacked hexagonal boron nitride grown on a GaN substrate, Nature Materials ...

Boron neutron capture therapy is being used ... Traditional radiotherapy uses beams of powerful ionizing radiation, such as X-rays or carbon ions, to directly kill tumour cells.
