For 2-D boron, it's all about that base
Rice University scientists have theoretically determined that the properties of atom-thick sheets of boron depend on where those atoms land.

(Phys.org)—While there are hints that Samsung and LG are developing flexible phones that can fold, roll up, and even be stretched into larger screens, there are still some obstacles to overcome before such bendable phones ...
A new study discovers how the sudden excitation of lattice vibrations in a crystal can trigger a change of the magnetic properties of an atomically-thin layer that lies on its surface.
