A New Two-Dimensional Boron Oxide Crystal Created in Trieste

Published in Science, an international study led by CNR-IOM, in collaboration with the Universities of Trieste and Innsbruck and Elettra Sincrotrone Trieste, has for the first time synthesized a two-dimensional crystal of boron oxide, experimentally confirming a structure that had so far only been hypothesized. This result opens up prospects for applications ranging from electronics to catalysis and even quantum technologies.
