Researchers at Penn State have made borophene, the atomically thin version of boron first synthesized in 2015, potentially more useful by imparting chirality — or handedness — on it, which could make for advanced sensors and implantable medical devices. The team, led by Dipanjan Pan, Dorothy Foehr Huck & J. Lloyd Huck Chair Professor in Nanomedicine and professor of materials science and engineering and of nuclear engineering, published their work — the first of its kind, they said — in ACS Nano.
