Rice lab's boron nitride composite could be useful for advanced technology applications
Rice scientists mixed hexagonal boron nitride ⎯ a soft variety also known as "white graphite" ⎯ with cubic boron nitride ⎯ a material second to diamond in hardness ⎯ and found that the resulting nanocomposite interacted with light and heat in unexpected ways that could be useful in next-generation microchips, quantum devices and other advanced technology applications.
