1812, from borax + ending abstracted unetymologically from carbon (it resembles carbon). Originally called boracium by Humphrey Davy because it was drawn from boracic acid. Related: Boric.

Element number 5 in the Periodic Table of the Chemical Elements

The function of this micronutrient is not well understood, but it is suspected that it might aid carbohydrate transport. Botrytis:

A micronutrient that helps regulate other nutrients.

A high strength element added to some graphite shafts to increase tip strength. It is a very expensive material, thus shafts containing boron tend to be more expensive.

(n) a trivalent metalloid element; occurs both in a hard black crystal and in the form of a yellow or brown powder

Calcium uptake & healthy bones, osteoporosis. Sources: Leafy vegetables, fruits, nuts, grains. Don’t take more than 3 mg a day.

element #5 on the periodic table, is a metalloid, intermediate between metals and non-metals. It exists in many polymorphs (different crystal lattice structures), some more metallic than others. Metallic boron is extremely hard and has a very high melting point. Boron does not generally make ionic bonds, it forms stable covalent bonds. Boron can tr [..]

Mined as the mineral borates, boron is traditionally used to produce glass and fibreglass. However, in batteries, boron is seeing increasing use in research and development of new anode chemistries.

Material used in the manufacture of graphite shafts to make them more durable, especially at the head end, and to determine where the "kick point" will be in the shaft top
