Nanomesh
Nanomesh was discovered in 2003 at the University of Zurich, Switzerland. It is a new inorganic nanostructured two-dimensional material, similar to graphene.
Nanomesh is stable in air, water and electrolytes among others. It doesn't decompose up to 1275K under vacuum.It consists of a single layer of boron (B) and nitrogen (N) atoms, which forms by self-assembly a highly regular mesh after high-temperature exposure of a clean rhodium or ruthenium surface to borazine under ultra-high vacuum.
The nanomesh looks like an assembly of hexagonal pores at the nanometer (nm) scale. The distance between 2 pore centers is only of 3.2 nm. Each pore has a diameter of about 2 nm and is 0.05 nm deep.
