Rice University researchers say 2-D boron may be best for flexible electronics

Rice University researchers say 2-D boron may be best for flexible electronics Houston TX (SPX) Oct 06, 2016 - Though they're touted as ideal for electronics, two-dimensional materials like graphene may be too flat and hard to stretch to serve in flexible, wearable devices. "Wavy" borophene might be better, according to Rice University scientists. The Rice lab of theoretical physicist Boris Yakobson and experimental collaborators observed examples of naturally undulating, metallic borophene, an ato ... more
