A recent article in Scientific Reports detailed the characterization of disordered structures in graphene and monolayer hexagonal boron nitride (hBN) induced by low-energy argon ion irradiation. The ...

Graphene nanopore device, since its proposal, has witnessed tremendous progress toward the goal of single-molecule detection. However, one central challenge of preparing electrodes with nanometer ...

A new microscopy technique allows scientists to see single-atom-thick boron nitride by making it glow under infrared light.

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 ...

A new publication from Opto-Electronic Science; DOI 10.29026/oes.2022.210013 overviews a new approach to tuning the optical third-order nonlinearity of boron nitride. Hexagonal boron nitride (h-BN) is ...

A new technical paper titled “On the quality of commercial chemical vapour deposited hexagonal boron nitride” was published by researchers at KAUST and the National Institute for Materials Science in ...

BN is a well-known electrical insulator with a wide band gap of about 5.97 eV. It has a coated plane surface and a highly stable structure. Its extraordinary interface properties and low coulomb ...

Researchers have discovered how to design and place single-photon sources at the atomic scale inside ultrathin 2D materials, ...

Researchers at Rice University have developed a new material that could be used to capture carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. Made from hexagonal-boron nitride (h-BN) and polyvinyl alcohol (PVA), the ...
