Borophene a sheet of boron just one atom thick can be stabilized in air by bonding its atoms with hydrogen, researchers in the US have discovered. The new technique was developed Mark Hersam at Northwestern University and colleagues, who found that hydrogenated sheets of borophene (called borophane) oxidized far more slowly…
