BORON 2

Caption

An illustration compares flakes of hexagonal boron nitride, top, and turbostratic boron nitride, bottom, the latter synthesized through the flash Joule heating process developed at Rice University. Two-dimensional materials are turbostratic when interactions between their layers are weak, making them easier to separate and solubilize.
