Chemists from ETH Zurich have found a way to produce poorly soluble proteins by caging a uniquely reactive boron compound. This method opens up new possibilities for the synthesis of tailored protein ...

Since the discovery of graphene, materials scientists have had the dream of making atomically thin, two-dimensional sheets of boron—theoreticians have long predicted that the planar boron layers could ...

Immediately after the Big Bang, before the first stars in the Universe ever formed, the Universe consisted of hydrogen (element #1), helium (element #2) and pretty much nothing else. Despite ...

Even though it is listed in the periodic table, 1 the metallic element boron is not a naturally occurring element. It is found in small amounts in the earth’s surface, and it is thought to be produced ...

Immediately after the Big Bang, before the first stars in the Universe ever formed, the Universe consisted of hydrogen (element #1), helium (element #2), and pretty much nothing else. Despite ...

Figure 1. (a) Design strategy and (b, c) chemical structure of the borohexane system. Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), a type of molecular carbon with a graphene-like fragment structure, are ...
