Dr Stephen Mansell (Heriot-Watt University) talks all things boron – the real fifth element! What has boron done for us and how will it shape the future? Originally ferried out of Death Valley, California, in twenty mule teams, boron has now become an important element for many high-tech applications, as well as washing powder.
