If the bond are that strong, then they may be equally hard to make.

The problem is not like making steel that starts as a mixture and figuring out the parameters.

The trick will be how do you end up with a perfect 2D lattice of 3 elements?

They may figure it out in months or decades. They may be able to create a ribbon on an electron atomic force microscope and use that like a starter crystal but only add one type of atom at a time afterwards.

Could be like figuring out how to grow synthetic diamonds with 3 elements.

So until more is known it is like asking how long is a piece of string.

Yet silicon nitride can be readily hydrolyzed by water (with minimal heating) to silicon dioxide and ammonia. I suspect that the silcon boronitride material can be made by fast pyrolysis onto a substrate from the hydrides of boron, silanes, and ammonia or azides. It should be a spectacular reaction to watch from a distance if oxygen gets into the arena.

Some believe that the unique catalytic properties (proton exchange barrier) of (oxidized) graphene will be easily transferred to this new material, and improved upon.

With the computer simulation of this hypothetical molecule, or with my take on it?

I had the benefit of reading a report about a German chemist who learned how to stabilize the higher silanes into something resembling diesel fuel, and that did not instantly catch on fire in air, now where did I put that? One of the by products is silicon nitride, and that is a dust in the engine that resembles lubrication, not a grit at all.

Not only that, it can be secondarily hydrolyzed into silica gel and ammonia, and the ammonia also burned as fuel! The German chemistry professor Peter Plichta. The bottom link is about plans for a single stage disc rocket using silanes as fuels.

Piece of string will still remain to be; twice the distance from the center to one end. That will never change.

AC-BCx2 = string length.

Unless the piece of string is supporting an Earl Grey tea bag, in which case, the string will grow by its elastic moment and the load on it with a wet tea bag suspended, and also the swelling of the fibers producing an elongation of dx, due to wetting. Calculus should easily solve that one.

Unless the staple slips and then it will be reclassified as an irritation regardless of length!-)

However true that may be, in a real piece of string the line from one end of the string (a point in 3D space) to the other end of the real string (another point in 3D space) will always be shorter than the string by some function F(x) declaring the topology of the string as it rests (or travels) in 3D space. In fact, the true line segments from the center point of the line integral of a real 3D string to either end (each are points in 3D space), may in fact not be equal, or they may be equal.

Kids: you may attempt to bust this myth at home. Do not soak the string in kerosene or nitrocellulose and attempt to light it afire, as a conflagration may result. Make sure your tea cups are sitting on a stable surface while conducting the experiment. Hot tea may burn your britches.

In fact, science has proven that soaking the string in nitrocellulose or or flammable liquid would enhance the equation by the square root of 0 and the conundrum would no longer exist and one may drink their tea and eat their sticky bun in peace.

No formula required for sticky buns. However a good recipe is a must.

USA only: if you partake of doughnuts or donuts, (dough rings) then please ensure you spit out the hole as it can be chocking hazard. It can be installed to the string and sent off into 3D space at any point.

Unless somehow you couple the expelled donut hole to the aether, and produce matter and antimatter from the continuum using vortex coupling to the zero point energy, and all hell breaks loose.

My anti does not matter in the least bit, albeit, she may matter now and again.

Solution to your dough nut hole conundrum. By semi connecting the hole to the out put of the input warp drive through the time warp continuum in the fabric of space, preferably near a seam, the vortex point coupling at the zero point will create a large enough hole to allow the rim of the hole to catch hell and prevent hell from breaking loose.

Once hell reaches the perimeter of the hole, the vortex reversal output, near the input of the original output, will trigger closed, and the string will remain the same length and be equal to AC - BC x 2, if you provide the given point, at any point.

Do you get my point now? The string 'X' will still be 'X=AC-2BC' even if the knot is untied at the way way away point.

May the Fork be with you.

Some interesting string facts you may not know:

1.A piece of strings comes in hand when you don't have any!

2. You will know how long it is when you find it is to short for the use you had in mind.

3. String is very flexible.

4. String has great hidden adhesive qualities, it can hold on to many items.

5. String conducts electricity when wet.

6. String can be used in various lengths.

7. String will hold up your knickers when the elastic breaks.

8. When string grows up it becomes rope.

9. Strings are very musical.

10. Pork pies contain pig.

11. String will not charge up your cell phone.

12. You can tie a knot in string.

while many of these factoids about strings are apparently true, and I agree that string by itself may not charge a cell phone, string might be employed in a galvanic-solid state hybrid battery that could in fact charge up a cell phone. I have made several that exhibited output resistance less than 100 Ohms. And I made them by wrapping one of the metal electrodes in Jute string (not gonna tell you which electrode).

That's just a theory, except for #10

Pork pies have been proven to contain pig if worn by a pig

One cannot 'stick' a fork in a hole, ..... it has no substance.

Does a toasted idea go well with Earl Grey?

And I agree, Jute is a very strong, but butcher string will will cut it up every time.

Goodday, enjoy and enjoyed.

I think I should create also an anonymous poster account so I could vote myself good answers for nothing. You do realize every single post/reply you have made thus far is really off-topic has nothing to do with graphene, or with B,Si,N analogues of graphene?

Actually, butcher string does not work well at all in phonon battery.

No one is stopping you my friend.

Realizing is way over rated and should be avoided.

I think from No 4 you were bitten and smitten and, also off topic my dear friend.

Time for tea. Goodday Mr. Stewart
