Researchers from the University of Surrey and Graz University of Technology have achieved a breakthrough in understanding how to grow hexagonal boron nitride (hBN), nicknamed “white graphene ...

Hexagonal boron nitride (hBN), otherwise known as white graphene, is one of a family of two-dimension materials discovered in the wake of the isolation of graphene at the University in 2004.

Only one atom thick, hBN – often nicknamed "white graphene" – is an ultra-thin, super-resilient material that blocks electrical currents, withstands extreme temperatures and resists chemical damage.

Scientists at Rice University in Texas have discovered a new type of white graphene ... or hybrids of graphene and boron nitride," he said. "But the spacing and arrangement of hBN [hexagonal ...
