Borophene joins 2D materials club. Scientists Create Atomically Thin Metallic Boron "Borophene&
A team of scientists has, for the first time, created a two-dimensional sheet of boron. This new 2D material is named as borophene.
Scientists have been interested in two-dimensional materials for their unique characteristics, particularly involving their electronic properties. Borophene is an unusual material because it shows many metallic properties at the nanoscale even though three-dimensional, or bulk, boron is nonmetallic and semiconducting.
