Hexagonal boron nitride, or hBN, is a single-atom-thin material that has been coined "white graphene" for its transparent appearance and its similarity to carbon-based graphene in molecular structure and strength. It can also withstand higher temperatures than graphene, and is electrically insulating, rather than conductive.
