Researchers predicted boron atoms would cling too tightly to copper to form borophene, a flexible, metallic two -dimensional material with potential across electronics, energy and catalysis.

Unlike systems such as graphene on copper, where atoms may diffuse into the substrate without forming a distinct alloy.

The finding, published in Science Advances , sets the stage for further exploration of a relatively untapped class of 2D materials.
