Rice University scientists have found that a boron nitride nanocomposite interacts with light and heat in unexpected ways that could be useful for advanced technology applications.
Similar to how the fragile No. 2 pencil’s core is made of carbon and how a cutting tool’s diamond is made of carbon, which is tougher than steel, boron nitride can occur in either soft or hard compounds.
