UNIVERSITY PARK, Pennsylvania, May 3 -- Pennsylvania State University issued the following news:
Move over, graphene. There's a new, improved two-dimensional material in the lab. Borophene, the atomically thin version of boron first synthesized in 2015, is more conductive, thinner, lighter, stronger and more flexible than graphene, the 2D version of carbon. Now, researchers at Penn State have made the material potentially more useful by imparting chirality -- or handedness -- on it, . . .
