The Journal of Boron focuses on the diverse applications and properties of boron and its compounds. Research spans medical therapies like Boron Neutron Capture Therapy (BNCT), the use of boron in nanotechnology for targeted drug delivery and theranostics, and its role as a micronutrient in biological systems, including anticancer effects. The journal also covers boron's industrial applications, such as in advanced ceramics (boron carbide, boron nitride), hydrogen storage materials, catalysts for hydrogen production, and as additives to enhance material properties like flame retardancy and silage preservation. Investigations into the environmental impact of boron mining and the synthesis of novel boron-containing materials are also featured.
