Researchers have found a way to control the geometry and stability of a new family of self-assembled-monolayer materials, the carboranes. The resulting exceptionally high quality and simplicity of the ...

Carboranes are carbon–boron molecular clusters that combine exceptional thermal and chemical stability with a distinctive three-dimensional aromaticity. Their unique polyhedral structures have ...

Cells containing ortho-carborane retained 80% of their original power conversion efficiency after being subjected to temperatures of 85 degrees Celsius for 1,080 hours. Credit: City University of Hong ...

Chemists have synthesized closed carboranes with 15 and 16 vertices—the largest carbon-boron molecular clusters of this kind ever made. Chemists first made a 14-vertex closed carborane in 2005, but ...

Carboranes, a class of polyhedral boron-carbon molecular clusters, are widely applied as functional building blocks in boron neutron capture therapy agents, pharmacophores, supramolecular design, ...

Researchers at the University of Missouri (MU) have created a new drug that is ten times more potent than the current cancer -treating drugs. In a new effort, MU medicinal chemists added a special ...

(Nanowerk News) U.S. scientists say they have found a way to control the geometry and stability of a new family of self-assembled-monolayer materials called carboranes. The Pennsylvania State ...

Researchers have developed a thermal regulation strategy to improve the performance of inverted tin-lead perovskite tech for all-perovskite tandem solar cells. It has an efficiency of 23.4% and ...

Researchers from The University of Osaka have developed a synthetic method that reliably and efficiently incorporates boron-rich carborane clusters into aromatic compounds as simple as "mixing and ...
