Despite the huge technological interest in boron nitride (BN), understanding the relative stability of its different structural phases remains a challenge owing to conflicting results from experiments and simulations. In a new study, an international research team addresses this issue with state-of-the-art quantum Monte Carlo simulation technique, demonstrating the most stable BN structure. This accurate and reliable method could lay the groundwork for future breakthroughs in the field of materials science.
