Hexagonal boron nitride has a layered crystalline structure in a hexagonal lattice arrangement composed of alternating boron and nitrogen atoms held together by strong covalent bonds. This structure ...

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 ...

Engineers synthesized aligned forests of nanoscale fibers made of boron nitride, or 'white graphene.' They hope to harness the technique to fabricate bulk-scale arrays of these nanotubes, which can ...

Every discipline has its holy grail. For Siddha Pimputkar, an assistant professor of materials science and engineering in Lehigh University’s P.C. Rossin College of Engineering and Applied Science, it ...
