hexagonal boron nitride (hBN), (c) wurtzite boron nitride (wBN), and (d) rhombohedral boron nitride (rBN). Boron and nitrogen atoms are depicted in brown and blue, respectively. Disclaimer ...

Boron Nitride (BN) exhibits multiple polymorphic forms, with hexagonal boron nitride (h-BN) and cubic boron nitride (c-BN) being the most significant. h-BN is known for its graphite-like layered ...

We've known about two substances harder than a diamond since 2009: wurtzite boron nitride and lonsdaleite, according to Scientific American. The first resists indentation with 18% more fortitude ...

A multi-institutional research team has engineered a way to preserve the electrical properties of materials as they are shrunk to the nanoscale. The use of the soft substrate hexagonal boron nitride ...
