What is boron? The question itself may not seem very significant to many people. Their
introduction to the word “boron” could come as the butt of a joke. Conan O'Brien made jokes …

In this work, CuO modified BNNT surface was investigated by DFT calculation. We suppose
that BNNT is a potential gas sensitive material. The modified model is present, and the …

The current status of research on boron nitride nanotubes (BNNTs)—carbon nanotube
