flammable gas slightly less dense than air, as well as atmospheric nitrogen (N₂), which comprises about 78% of Earth’s ...

Boron, carbon, nitrogen and oxygen: these four elements can form chemical triple bonds with each other due to their similar ...

These are known as Z-type ligands, and they can accept electrons from a metal. However, boron, the smallest element in group 13, has only been shown to do this with the support of additional ...

In contrast, p-type silicon is silicon doped with boron gas that turns it into a conductive material that readily accepts electrons when voltage is applied. Boron has only three electrons in its ...

A boron bullet to target cancer A new boron-containing lipid, synthesized by Japanese chemists, may bolster research efforts in neutron-capture therapy. Boron neutron capture is an experimental ...

Magnesium fluoride, on the other hand, evaporates efficiently at 1000 °C to form boron fluoride gas, which promotes evaporation of the boron oxide melt at around 1300 °C and helps activate the ...

In a new study published in Physical Review Letters, researchers have now tackled highly charged boron-like tin ions with only five remaining electrons. The goal is to study the inter-electronic ...
