A California-based group said it has completed the first-ever hydrogen-boron fusion experiments to produce a sustainable fuel for utility-scale fusion power. TAE Technologies on Feb. 28, in a ...

Boron, a metalloid element that sits next to carbon in the periodic table, has many traits that make it potentially useful as a drug component. Nonetheless, only five FDA-approved drugs contain boron, ...

Chemists seeking strange new structures from the main group of elements have bagged two long-sought species with boron at their cores. Researchers in Germany report the synthesis of the world’s first ...

When you mention boron to people and ask them what it brings to mind, there’s no shortage of answers. Some will think about borax (sodium borate), which is used to make glass and the playful ...

A new boron agent drastically improves the effectiveness of boron neutron capture therapy for glioblastoma, demonstrate researchers at Tokyo Tech. The agent is selectively absorbed by brain tumor ...

Many of the key proteins for modern medicine and science are poorly soluble. These include numerous signalling proteins and protein hormones, as well as all of the receptors anchored in the cell ...

Chemists from ETH Zurich have found a way to produce poorly soluble proteins by caging a uniquely reactive boron compound. This method opens up new possibilities for the synthesis of tailored protein ...
