2D hexagonal boron nitride (h-BN) is a promising material that can undergo transition to strong, super lightweight films. Researchers have discovered that h-BN in layered, molecule-thin 2D sheets can ...

(Nanowerk News) NUS scientists have developed a method for self-assembly of hexagonal organic porous structures on molybdenum diselenide (MoSe2) film to create ordered nanostructures (Nature ...

Since the discovery of graphene in 2004, various 2D materials with diverse chemical compositions and interconnected physical properties have gained a lot of interest as prospective candidates for ...

Hexagonal Boron Nitride (hBN) is a layered material with a structure analogous to that of graphene. Within each layer, it is composed of alternating boron and nitrogen atoms that are arranged in a sp ...

Scientists have used a mix of physical and chemical properties to bend salt into hexagonal crystals for the first time ever. They formed the thin layer of crystalline salt on a substrate (foundation ...

have found a new way to image layers of boron nitride that are only a single atom thick. This material is usually nearly invisible in optical microscopes because it has no optical resonances. To ...

A review paper by scientists at Beijing Institute of Graphic Communication presented  a thorough review of the existing ...

Chemists have discovered that pointy gold tetrahedrons self-assemble into 2D chiral superlattices. The structures could be useful metamaterials. Tetrahedron-shaped nanoparticles are interesting enough ...

BROOKLYN, New York, Monday, January 26, 2021 - Atomically thin, 2D hexagonal boron nitride (h-BN) is a promising material whose protean ability to undergo phase transformations to strong, super ...
