However, the same graphite structure fails when it comes to sodium or potassium. Their atoms are simply too big and interactions too complex to slide in and out of graphite's tightly packed layers.

Estimated sodium intake of more than 3.7 g per day was associated with adverse cardiac remodeling, worse systolic strain and worse diastolic e’ velocity, according to research published in the ...

In one calculation you would find the structures of the pure elements (sodium and boron in this case) and also the structures and compositions of all of the stable borides. Sodium boride is one of ...
