Borophene, better than graphene, may improve implantable technology

https://phys.org/news/2024-05-graphene-material-implantable-technology.html

"more conductive, thinner, lighter, stronger, more flexible than graphene... imparting chirality enabling interaction in unique ways with cells and protein precursors... various polymorphic structures of borophene interact with cells differently, uniquely dictating cellular internalization pathways... borophene platelets made subjecting boron powders to high-energy sound waves, mixing in different amino acids in liquid imparting chirality... effective magnetic and electronic control... health care, sustainable energy"
