When it comes to eliminating toxic and expensive heavy metals in the chemical industry, a new study from the University of Würzburg points the way forward. The team led by chemistry professor Holger ...

The boronizing process is a thermochemical surface treatment that involves the diffusion of boron into steel substrates to form hard boride layers. These layers, typically comprised of FeB and Fe2B ...

Transition metals have long been used as catalysts to activate small molecules and turn them into valuable products. However, as these metals can be expensive and less abundant, scientists are ...

The two main types of boron nitride used in industry are hexagonal boron nitride (h-BN) and cubic boron nitride (c-BN). h-BN, particularly in its 2D form, is a stable material with electrical ...
