Only one atom thick, hBN—often nicknamed "white graphene"—is an ultra-thin, super-resilient material that blocks electrical currents, withstands extreme temperatures and resists chemical damage.

In a recent Nature Communications article, researchers explored how strong electric fields influence electron behavior in ...

What are the key characteristics and importance of 2D materials like graphene and hexagonal boron nitride (hBN)? 2D materials, such as graphene and hexagonal boron nitride (hBN), have unusual features ...

An image of hBN-based deep-ultraviolet LED. This is a schematic diagram showing that a strong deep ultraviolet light can be emitted using the van der Waals heterostructure with graphene/hBN ...

This has allowed the study of how various ions pass through these tiny holes. The slits are made from graphene, hexagonal boron nitride (hBN) and molybdenum disulphide (MoS 2) and, surprisingly, allow ...

A 3D-printed graphene/polymer double-layer composite with high anisotropic thermal conductivity was developed, achieving in-plane conductivity of 4.54 W/(m·K) and an anisotropic ratio of 8.

Interactions in twisted bilayer graphene are exceptionally sensitive to the twist angle ... the films with an atomically-flat insulator, hexagonal boron nitride (hBN), which serves to preserve the ...

To this end, significant efforts have been reported to epitaxially grow graphene, 2D hBN and 2D MoS2 on top of each other. However, it is a daunting task to find the right conditions for so-called vdW ...
