Description: cBNP is the clear winner when machining ferrous materials. It is second only to diamond in hardness. cBNP has a high thermal conductivity which makes it ideal for high temperature ...

Report by BC Professor of Physics David Broido and international colleagues confirm high thermal conductivity predicted for isotopically enriched cubic boron nitride Research by Professor of Physics ...

Boron nitride (BN) is an important industrial material; e.g., cubic-type BN (c-BN) is widely used. Because it is the second hardest material known to man (the hardest being diamond), it is mainly used ...

In fact, only diamond and isotopically enriched cubic boron nitride have better thermal conductivity. However, there are still unknowns about how to use the material in practical devices.

From modern pottery to some that have lasted throughout history, there’s something about an elegant bowl, plate, or even vase ...

IMAGE ABOVE: Contours from a heat map show temperature shifts in cubic boron arsenide. In the latest wrinkle to be discovered in cubic boron arsenide, the unusual material contradicts the traditional ...

Powder from Advanced Abrasives with a Mohs hardness of 9.5 is almost as hard as cubic boron nitride (cBN) and so serves as a lower cost alternative abrasive to both diamond and to cBN. The closely ...

The most common rare-earth magnet alloy, a combination of iron, neodymium, and boron, has a Curie temperature ... cell that’s either body-centered cubic (BCC), where eight iron atoms are ...

Boron is an essential mineral critical for the optimal functioning of the human body, playing a key role in maintaining healthy bones, muscles, and brain function. Boron supplements are ...

Two Waukegan men have been charged after they stole brass vases from tombstones and sold them for scrap, according to authorities. Marcos Mendez, 41, of the 3000 block of Illinois Route 120 ...
