The Rice lab of theoretical physicist Boris Yakobson and experimental collaborators observed examples of naturally undulating, metallic borophene, an atom - thick layer of boron, and suggested that transferring it onto an elastic surface would preserve the material's stretchability along with
its useful electronic properties.
