Two hydrogen-rich materials, H 3 S and LaH 10, synthesized at megabar pressures, have
revolutionized the field of condensed matter physics providing the first glimpse to the …

Neighboring carbon and sandwiched between non‐metals and metals in the periodic table
of the elements, boron is one of the most chemically and physically versatile elements, and …

At the atomic-cluster scale, pure boron is markedly similar to carbon, forming simple planar
molecules and cage-like fullerenes. Theoretical studies predict that two-dimensional (2D) …

Pressure has long been recognized as a fundamental thermodynamic variable but its
application was previously limited by the available pressure vessels and probes. The …

Abstract 2D materials have attracted considerable attention in the past decade for their
superlative physical properties. These materials consist of atomically thin sheets exhibiting …

Two‐dimensional boron materials have recently attracted extensive theoretical interest
because of their exceptional structural complexity and remarkable physical and chemical …

The discovery of new high-temperature superconductors based on FeAs has led to a new
'gold rush'in high-TC superconductivity. All of the new superconductors share the same …

Boron is an element of fascinating chemical complexity. Controversies have shrouded this
element since its discovery was announced in 1808: the new 'element'turned out to be a …

Diamond is an electrical insulator well known for its exceptional hardness. It also conducts
heat even more effectively than copper, and can withstand very high electric fields. With …

Many of the fundamental questions regarding the solid‐state chemistry of boron are still
unsolved, more than 200 years after its discovery. Recently, theoretical work on the …
