In combination with the triple bond, this is about as uncomfortable as it gets for boron, requiring very special conditions,” ...

Researchers from the University of Würzburg are opening up new horizons in chemistry: They present the world's first triple ...

NASA's Curiosity rover recently detected boron in Gale Crater on Mars. This has many implications with regards to ancient alien life that might have lived there. Follow TI: On Facebook More from ...

Boron is an essential mineral critical for the optimal functioning of the human body, playing a key role in maintaining healthy bones, muscles, and brain function. Boron supplements are ...

Ken Wade recalls his own undistinguished part in the space race, and notes how carboranes revitalized boron hydride chemistry and modified our ideas of chemical bonding. In the 1950s, during the ...

In a recent paper published in National Science Review, a jointed team of scholars from China and UK has made significant ...

A solar cell is made of two types of semiconductors, called p-type and n-type silicon. The p-type silicon is produced by adding atoms—such as boron or gallium—that have one less electron in their ...

The foil remains radioactive and the emission of radiation decays exponentially as for an ordinary radio-element. We observed the same phenomenon with boron and magnesium 2. The half life period ...

But now, this gap is closed, thanks to the Chemists at Julius-Maximilians-Universität (JMU) Würzburg in Bavaria, Germany, who ...
