Typographic note for future headline writers: If your headline only parses properly with line breaks, then it will probably cause confusion when someone else links to you. I thought this article was going to be about a hybrid material called "graphene-borophene" because there is minimal visual difference between hyphens and an em dashes here.
Not to mention the whole "sorry" smugness intended to make it sound like graphene is now suddenly useless.
There is some overlap, but the practical use cases described seem more of a more complementary nature. The novel attributes don't really seem to put these two in competition.
And there is the expectation of more to come, since we can expect discoveries into other substances that produce useful effects when treated and applied in ways similar to graphene and now borophene.
