A layer of hexagonal boron nitride has the shape of a chicken wire, and is formed by the alternation of boron (B, pink) and nitrogen (N, blue). Depending on how the layers are piled up together, the material assumes different arrangements: AA, AB, AC, AA?, AB?, and AC?. The team achieved and studied a AA?/AB stacking boundary for the first time.
