The work is published in the journal Nature Communications. The material, called hexagonal boron nitride (hBN), is used in semiconductor devices and can also enhance the performance of other two ...

Boron nitride (BN) based ceramic composites are gaining attention in materials science due to their unique mechanical properties and thermal stability. These composites are particularly useful in ...

The modified material was then exposed to flowing ammonia at 1000 °C, which resulted in sodium-doped amorphous silicon-boron-nitride (Na-doped SiBN). Using cutting-edge spectroscopic techniques ...

An infrared microscope designed by a University of Iowa team led by Thomas Folland helped produce information that could help ...

In fact, only diamond and isotopically enriched cubic boron nitride have better thermal conductivity. However, there are still unknowns about how to use the material in practical devices.

In quantum physics, subatomic particles behave strangely—they can be in two places simultaneously, move through solid objects ...

The work by researchers in the Center for Advanced Semiconductor Technologies could lead to energy-efficient microelectronics ...
