But very few of them have been discovered. Theoreticians had predicted that isotopically pure cubic boron nitride (c-BN), should have extremely high thermal conductivity - second only to crystals made ...

Boron fits into the crystal lattice just like ... Boules are formed by dipping a seed crystal into pure molten silicon. Extrinsic semiconductors (those that use dopant) can also be created through ...

NASA’s Curiosity rover has made a groundbreaking discovery on Mars by uncovering pure sulfur crystals within a broken rock. This finding is considered a significant scientific breakthrough, as pure ...

Researchers have discovered a method to induce chirality in non-chiral materials using terahertz light. This groundbreaking ...

In this study, the research team chemically modified polysilazane with boron (B) -- a naturally abundant and less toxic Lewis acid -- and sodium (Na). The modified material was then exposed to ...

By replacing traditional, carbon-emitting energy sources with solar-powered alternatives, solar products play a significant role in mitigating carbon emissions. Each solar light displaces the need for ...
