Moontanman Posted February 5, 2009 Report Posted February 5, 2009 High Pressure Yields Novel Single-element Boron 'Compound' ScienceDaily (Feb. 4, 2009) — Scientists have found the first case of an ionic crystal consisting of just one chemical element – boron. This is the densest and hardest known phase of this element. The new phase turned out to be a key to understanding the phase diagram of boron – the only element for which the phase diagram was unknown since its discovery 200 years ago.
