Boron () is a chemical element with chemical symbol B and atomic number 5.

Boron is concentrated on Earth by the water-solubility of its more common naturally occurring compounds, the borate minerals.

Boron is essential to life.

Boron is similar to carbon in its capability to form stable covalently bonded molecular networks.

Though Chrétien ’ s account is the earliest and most influential of all Grail texts, it was in the work of Robert de Boron that the Grail truly became the " Holy Grail " and assumed the form most familiar to modern readers.

Boron is the most common etch-stop dopant.

Much of this work is summarized in a book by Gareth Eaton and William Lipscomb, NMR Studies of Boron Hydrides and Related Compounds, one of Lipscomb's two books.

The origin of the association between Joseph and Britain is not entirely clear, but it is probably through this association that Boron attached him to the Grail.

In the Lancelot-Grail Cycle, a vast Arthurian composition that took much from Boron, it is not Joseph but his son Josephus who is considered the primary holy man of Britain.

Boron is sometimes excluded from the list, by itself or together with silicon.

Boron is a semiconductor, with a room temperature electrical conductivity of 1. 5 × 10 < sup >− 6 </ sup > S • cm < sup >− 1 </ sup > and a band gap of about 1. 56 eV.

These compounds have found or continue to find practical uses in chemical, domestic and industrial glassware < ref > Deming 1925, pp. 330 ( As < sub > 2 </ sub > O < sub > 3 </ sub >), 418 ( B < sub > 2 </ sub > O < sub > 3 </ sub >; SiO < sub > 2 </ sub >; Sb < sub > 2 </ sub > O < sub > 3 </ sub >)</ ref >< ref > Witt & Gatos 1968, p. 242 ( GeO < sub > 2 </ sub >)</ ref > and optics .< ref > Eagleson 1994, p. 421 ( GeO < sub > 2 </ sub >)</ ref >< ref > Rothenberg 1976, 56, 118 – 119 ( TeO < sub > 2 </ sub >)</ ref > Boron trioxide is

Boron nitride is a good reinforcement for steel because it is very stiff and it does not dissolve in molten steel.

Boron is classified as a metalloid while the rest, with the possible exception of ununtrium, are considered poor metals.

Boron is a trace element in humans and is essential for some plants.

Boron ( B ) deficiency is an uncommon disorder affecting plants growing in deficient soils and is often associated with areas of high rainfall and leached soils.

Boron is also involved in the carbohydrate metabolism in plants, protein synthesis, seed and cell wall formation, germination of pollen grains and growth of pollen tubes and sugar translocation.

Boron has a strong affinity for oxygen, a characteristic manifested in the extensive chemistry of the borates.

Today, the town serves mainly as a bedroom community for those wishing to live near either Edwards Air Force Base or the U. S. Borax mine in Boron.

Boron hydrides have been studied as potential fuels, for rockets and for automotive uses.

Boron hydrides such as diborane later developed into a range of reagents for organic synthesis as well as a source of diverse ligands and building blocks for researchers.

Boron carbide composites are today favoured for ceramic plates protecting against smaller projectiles, such as used in body armour and armoured helicopters ; this was in fact in the early sixties the first general application of ceramic armour.

* The Muroc Joint Unified School District provides all public school education for Edwards Air Force Base, and the northern Antelope Valley communities of North Edwards, and Boron.

Except for the Boron freeway bypass, SR 58 is primarily a four lane expressway ( two lanes per direction ) just east of Boron up to the Barstow bypass segment with the exception of the portion of Route 58 between Boron and approximately east of Kramer Junction, which is currently two-lane highway and is not yet expressway.

Boron is the p-type dopant of choice for silicon integrated circuit production because it diffuses at a rate that makes junction depths easily controllable.

Boron was honoured for her outstanding career in rowing with the 2009 Thomas Keller Medal.

Boron neutron capture therapy has been tested as an alternative treatment for glioblastoma multiforme but is not in common use.

* A Bit of Boron, a Pinch of Palladium: One-Stop Shop for the Suzuki Reaction

Boron is an element essential for the growth and development of plants and animals.

Boron is an acceptor in diamond: boron atoms have one less available electron than the carbon atoms ; therefore, each boron atom substituting for a carbon atom creates an electron hole in the band gap that can accept an electron from the valence band.

After the borax mining and operations were moved from the Death Valley region to the Boron, California mine and facilities in 1927, the line relied upon whatever traffic could be found.

) Boron and control rods are used to maintain primary system temperature at the desired point.

Boron polymers and ceramics play specialized roles as high-strength lightweight structural and refractory materials.

Boron may be present but locked up in soils with a high pH, and the deficiency may be worse in wet seasons.

Boron oxide may refer to:

The later development of the legends of the Holy Grail and Joseph of Arimathea by Robert de Boron interconnected these legends with Glastonbury and with Avalon an identification which also seems to be made in Perlesvaus.

Boron, phosphorus, silicon and carbon lower melting point and rapidly diffuse to base metals ; this allows diffusion brazing and allows the joint to be used above the brazing temperature.

Boron is an excellent neutron absorber ( and also undergoes some neutron scattering ) which decays into carbon or helium and produces virtually no gamma radiation, with boron carbide a commonly used shield where concrete would be cost prohibitive.

In Robert de Boron account Saint Graal he is of noble birth ; his father is stated to be Alain le Gros either King Pellinore or another worthy knight.

The Didot-Perceval is thought to be a prosification of a lost work by Robert de Boron.

Boron can be combined with hydrogen, but Borane ( boron hydride ) forms dimers and clusters rather than a monomer.

Boron is believed to be involved in carbohydrate transport in plants ; it also assists in metabolic regulation.

His family is unknown, though the second author of the Prose Tristan claimed to be Robert's nephew, calling himself " Helie de Boron ".

Boron nitride can be prepared by heating polyborazylene to 1000 ° C.
