‘Better than graphene’ material development may improve implantable technology

Abstract

Summary for Non-Scientists

“Our study, for the first time ever, showed that various polymorphic structures of borophene interact with cells differently and their cellular internalization pathways are uniquely dictated by their structures.”

“Borophenes' unique structure allows for effective magnetic and electronic control,” Pan said, noting the material could have additional applications in health care, sustainable energy and more.

“This study was just the beginning. We have several projects underway to develop biosensors, drug delivery systems and imaging applications for borophene.”
