	Boron Nitride Aerosol
		Boron nitride is electrically insulating to its use-limits, while being transparent (non-heating/non-absorbing) to microwave energy and having a dielectric strength about four times that of aluminum oxide.
		Major uses for boron nitride arise from its stability and compete lack of attack and total non-wetting in contact with molten aluminum, magnesium, zinc, and other nonferrous metals and alloys.
		The lubricity of boron nitride is remarkable throughout its useful temperature range and in all environments (unlike graphite which loses its lubricity in vacuum): this property of BN leads to its uses in areas of metal extrusion, plastic extrusion, hot-pressing of metals and ceramics, and isothermal (superplastic) forming of superalloys.

	New on the nanoscale: buckyball wires sheathed with boron nitride insulation
		The inside diameter of a boron nitride tube determines the configuration of the carbon buckyballs packed inside it: (a) in a 2-nanometer tube, the buckyballs are staggered; (b) in a 2.8-nanometer tube, the buckyballs assemble as rotating triangles; (c) at a diameter of 3.3 nanometers, the buckyball nanowire is shaped like a corkscrew
