Boron Neutron Capture Therapy - Boron neutron capture therapy (BNCT) is an experimental form of radiotherapy that utilizes a neutron beam that interacts with boron injected to a patient. BNCT depends on the interaction of slow neutrons with boron-10 to produce alpha particles and lithium nuclei, without producing other types of ionizing radiation.
Boron deficiency (plant disorder) - Boron (B) deficiency is a rare disorder affecting plants growing above a granite bedrock, which is low in boron. Boron may be present but locked up in soils with a high pH, and the deficiency may be worse in wet seasons.
Total boron - The total boron (BT) is the sum of boron species in a solution. In the environment these species usually include boric acid and borate, for example:
Boron nitride - Boron nitride (BN) is a binary chemical compound, consisting of equal proportions of boron and nitrogen. The empirical formula is therefore BN.
Boron suboxide - Boron suboxide (chemical formula B6O) is a solid compound of boron and oxygen. Unusually, it forms icosahedral particles, which are neither single crystals nor quasicrystals, but twinned groups of twenty tetrahedral crystals.
