But BNCT — which uses less intense beams than traditional radiotherapy — makes use of a targeted interaction between boron in the tumour and neutrons in the beam that releases a strong ...

In this study, the research team chemically modified polysilazane with boron (B)—a naturally abundant and less toxic Lewis acid—and sodium (Na). The modified material was then exposed to ...

Within the hydrogel, the team added 100-300 nanometre-sized nanosheets of boron nitrate functionalized with amine groups. “The hydrogel is highly porous and filled with water, which facilitates ...

Given their links to a range of negative health effects, can we replace forever chemicals with something that doesn't have ...
