Combining two types of molecular boron nitride could create a hybrid material used in faster, more powerful electronics
In chemistry, structure is everything. Compounds with the same chemical formula can have different properties depending on the arrangement of the molecules they’re made of.

Planets can form much faster than thought, new ALMA telescope photos suggest
Clouds of dust and gas not far from our solar system are giving astronomers a rare glimpse into the earliest stages of planet formation.
