The discovery is a tantalizing step in the decades-long search for room-temperature superconductors that could unleash a new generation of electronics and computers.
Equipped with a way to cheaply and easily create diamond membranes that have robust color centers, scientists hope to build a kind of assembly line for generating large numbers of these membranes for quantum experiments around the world.
Decades of research on transition metal borides (TMBs) and their phases have led to a novel class of 2D transition metal borides termed MBenes - the boron-analogues of MXenes. Due to the very early stage of development, little is known about MBenes' physical and chemical properties, although excellent mechanical, electronic, metallic/semiconducting, capacitive, and thermoelectric properties have been theoretically predicted for them. However, even the most accurate theoretical predictions ...
