A newway to produce amine-boranes has been created that promises to be safer and cheaper, and could lead to new uses in medicine, energy storage, rocket propulsion and other technologies.

Polyhedral boranes, or clusters of boron atoms bound to hydrogen atoms, are transforming the biomedical industry. These humanmade materials have become the basis for the creation of cancer therapies, ...

Chemistry professor Qing Ye wants to achieve fundamental innovations with boron-containing molecules. To this end, he has raised considerable funding, which also includes positions for PhD students.

Long ago, a global search for borane superfuels led fortuitously to the discovery of carboranes. Ken Wade recalls his own undistinguished part in the space race, and notes how carboranes revitalized ...

Relative to its next-door neighbor carbon, boron is one electron short. And what a difference that makes! Carbon, with six electrons, is essential to life, while boron, with only five, is not. There ...

Le premier laser dans le visible a vu le jour il y a plus de 54 ans. Il s'agissait d'un laser solide émettant dans le rouge. Les chercheurs aimeraient aujourd'hui réaliser des lasers liquides ...

WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. – Purdue University researchers have developed a way to produce amine-boranes that promises to be safer and cheaper, and could lead to new uses in medicine, energy storage, rocket ...
