BORON 1

Caption

Particles of mechanically sheared flash boron nitride, as seen through a scanning electron microscope. The arrow shows the direction of shear force applied to the material. The flash Joule heating process developed at Rice University creates turbostratic materials with weak interactions between layers, making them easier to separate.
