The process begins by immersing crystalline boron powder in liquid nitrogen at -196°C. This sudden temperature plunge creates intense stress within the material. Computer simulations showed this ...

PPPL physicist Robert Lunsford has completed research showing that injecting boron powder into fusion plasma can aid the fusion reactions. Disclaimer: AAAS and EurekAlert! are not responsible for ...

Now, reporting in the journal Combustion, Explosion, and Shock Waves, the researchers have shown through thermal analysis of the boron oxide powder which impurities hamper or improve combustion ...

The original carbon-boron reduction method involves heating ... making the ceramic powder particularly useful in high-temperature environments where structural integrity is critical.

Boron, a moderately volatile element with strong fluid mobility, serves as a useful tracer for tracking the recycling of volatiles through its isotopic composition (δ¹¹B). Studies of boron ...
