Researchers are opening up new horizons in chemistry: They present the world's first triple bond between the atoms boron and carbon. Boron, carbon, nitrogen and oxygen: these four elements can form ...

A group of researchers at the University of Tokyo have spent years testing the limits of chemical bonds. And now, after years of work, they've finally explored an idea originally proposed in 1931: a ...

Figure 1 BNOSE, a high-performance, chemically recoverable elastomer design based on boron-nitrogen (B-N) coordination and boron-oxygen (B-O) dynamic bonding. Elastomers, or thermoplastics, are ...

Boron, carbon, nitrogen and oxygen: these four elements can form chemical triple bonds with each other due to their similar electronic properties. Examples of this are the gas carbon monoxide, which ...
