For decades, borides have been primarily studied as crystallographic oddities. With such a
wide variety of structures (a quick survey of the Inorganic Crystal Structure Database counts …

Metal borides have received a lot of attention recently as a potentially useful material for a
wide range of applications. In particular, molybdenum‐based borides and MBenes are of …

High-entropy ceramics and their composites display high mechanical strength and attractive
high-temperature stabilities. However, properties like strong covalent bond character and …

All molybdenum borides with various phases such as Mo2B, α-MoB, β-MoB, and MoB2 have
been found to possess excellent electrocatalytic hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) activity …

An ensemble machine‐learning method is demonstrated to be capable of finding superhard
materials by directly predicting the load‐dependent Vickers hardness based only on the …

Conspectus Mechanical hardness is a physical property used to gauge the applications of
materials in the manufacturing and machining industries. Because of their high hardness …

The search for new ultraincompressible, superhard materials has been performed largely
through trial and error. Despite the difficulties in synthesizing such materials, interest in this …

Vanadium diboride (VB2) with an AlB2-type structure has been synthesized at 8 GPa and
1700 K in a D-DIA-type multianvil apparatus. The obtained bulk modulus is B 0= 262 (2) …

High-entropy borides are deemed robust candidates because of their complex combination
of entropy-driven, multi-component disordered solid solutions. They are particularly …
