HOUSTON, Texas, Aug. 8 (TNSres) -- Rice University issued the following news release:
Just as carbon makes up both the brittle core of a No. 2 pencil and the harder-than-steel diamond in a cutting tool, boron nitride gives rise to compounds that can be soft or hard. Yet, unlike carbon, far less is known about boron nitride's forms and their responses to changing temperatures and pressures.
Rice University scientists mixed hexagonal boron nitride - a soft variety also kn . . .
