Thanks.

I think for non-engineers, “single layer materials” is a much more self-explanatory term than “2D materials”.

I know, but I still don’t, like, like seeing slang or colloquialisms in ‘scientific’ articles, ya know. You catch me, ace?

I just hope they didn’t damage the UFO too much while reengineering this stuff.

Hex-bn is also a proton conductor in multi-layers. It is electrically, an insulator. The best results for high temperature are obtained by gaseous deposition to form parts, rather than moulding, due to the additives.

Carbon added to Iron disrupts the propagation of cracks along crystalline fracture planes. Oxygen is in play with the metal Boron, in this instance, to redirect an applied stress.
