Did you know that Oh! Jesus was going to have 3 more episodes? Well, that's because those episodes were scrapped, while the other 3 still exist. I will resurface them from the dead.
Episode 4: "A Sad Prayer"
The setting is Hawaii. There is a fisherman's family. One day, the boat capsizes in a storm and the father goes missing. The mother is in despair, but the young child believes that "his father is holding on to the planks of the boat and is safe." The mother embraces her son and prays to God. "Oh, well, we can't give up yet. God, please let him live." Nora, hearing his prayer, casts a spell. The mother and son prayed to the sea every day from the top of the cliff. The villagers sympathize with them, saying, "Poor thing." Boron is impressed, but asks Nora. "Wow. You can pray like that to someone who is no longer with you. By the way, Nora, did you save your father? Where is he?"
When Nora went in the direction she pointed, Boron was surprised at the devastation. Sure enough, his father was floating in the sea, clinging to the plank of the ship, just as his son had wished. However, there were many sharks circling around him. The sharks had been prevented from approaching by Nora's magic, but in the middle of the sea, the father was frightened and calling for help. Boron: "What?! Is this helping him???" Boron instinctively used his storm magic to blow a gust of wind. The storm blew the father, still clinging to the plank, out to sea and he reached the shore. A muscular giant came and listened to his father's heartbeat. The giant was shocked at his father's cardiac arrest and began artificial respiration. Boron: "Now he can go home. How about it, Nora? I helped him." Nora applauds with a smile.
A villager runs into the mother and son's house. Villager: "Your husband was rescued in the next village!" The mother and son drive to the next village, where they see the father leaning on the shoulder of a giant. The two of them are wearing matching outfits and are making love. Perhaps the artificial respiration was wrong, but the father who was rescued had become romantically involved with the giant who had rescued him.
Something inside the mother snaps. The accelerator is pressed hard. The tires spin. Son: "Mom?" The car continues to hurt the giant and his father, crashing into them. The two are thrown like a chain reaction and pushed off a cliff into the sea. Boron is surprised.
The mother is out of breath in the car, then suddenly comes to her senses and turns to her son, smiling as she speaks. Mother: "Now, let's pray for Dad again." Son: "What?... Ah... O-okay." Mother and son pray from the top of a cliff, facing the sea. Son: "Please come back to me, Dad, who won't make Mommy angry." On the sea, a giant and his father are floating, crying out, "Help us!" Sharks are circling around them. Boron: "Oh! Jesus."
Episode 5: "Capitalist Society"
The setting is Japan. There is a businessman whose sales figures are not increasing. The product he sells is "Get in Shape with the Bible." It is a set of a DVD of dancing to gospel music and a Bible. However, the businessman who is not selling well makes a wish. "Oh, God, I want to increase my sales figures." Hearing these words, Nora casts a spell. Then, the leather shoes he is wearing turn into bright red magic shoes. The next moment, regardless of the businessman's will, the shoes control his feet and he runs into various houses. "Wow, that's exactly what I wanted! Healthy products for the mind and body!" The products sold one after another at the places he visited.
His sales performance at the company is growing, and a cute girl he likes has even turned her attention to him. The businessman is happy about this, but he has no time to spend the huge bonus he received, and is forced to work from morning to night, at the mercy of his red shoes. He can't take off those shoes even if he tries. The idea of ​​getting in shape with the Bible is spreading throughout society, and Boron doesn't find it funny. He doesn't find the spread of the Bible interesting, and he's also physically repulsed by the creepy dance. If you get hit on the right cheek, you put on the left cheek. Boron: "Eeek. I get a weird aura and it's creepy..."
Boron wants to stop this trend, but Nora is dancing next to him with her Walkman on. Boron is disheartened. Meanwhile, the businessman is overworked and wants to quit. But he can't quit because his performance is improving. In the dilemma of wanting to quit but being unable to, the businessman pretends to be cheerful but is getting more and more tired. After laughing hysterically and insanely, Ding... The red shoes fall off his skinny feet, who died from overwork. Boron: "Humans are stupid. What's the point of working yourself to death?" Everyone in the company is crying because the businessman died from overwork. His cute daughter is also crying because she's lost her love. Boron: "Isn't that right? People always realize they've lost something before they realize it. Well, it's fine. That strange trend has died down." At this point, the president shouts. President: "Oh, because this guy is dead, our company's performance will plummet!" The employees start crying even louder at the president's words. Boron: "Eh?"
The funeral of the businessman is being held. When the DVD is put into the player, "Trance Sutra" is displayed on the TV screen. On live TV, the announcer shouts, "Using the Bible to shape yourself is outdated. From now on, you'll lose weight with trans-sutras!" At the same time, the company president and employees begin dancing in front of the businessman's coffin. In a capitalist society, even the death of a businessman is used to advertise a product. His performance report jumps up again after he dies. Boron says, "Oh! Jesus."
Episode 6: "Possessed by the Devil"
The setting is England. A girl is writing a letter. "Please come home soon, Daddy. My new mommy is acting strange." Then her stepmother arrives. The stepmother picks up the letter, reads it, tears it up, and slaps the girl. The girl is in tears. The stepmother prays to heaven. "Oh, God, please let that child be possessed by the devil." Nora hears her prayer and casts a spell. Then Boron's body starts to move uncontrollably and enters the girl's body. The girl's voice changes to that of Boron. Girl (Boron): "Hey, stepmother. Don't think you can get away with doing this to me. You too, Nora!" The stepmother is shocked and calls the priest. The exorcism ritual begins.
Boron is trapped in the girl's body and feels cramped, so he goes wild. To the priest, he sees a possessed girl raging on her bed. The priest desperately shouts at Boron to get out, pouring holy water over him. Priest: "Go away! Filthy beast! Free the child from her suffering!" Behind him, the stepmother smiles. Girl (Boron): "Hey, look closely! Damn priest! This girl's suffering is your stepmother's fault! People are always hurting people! Don't blame the devil!" Furious, Boron uses magic to summon thunderclouds and cause a thunderstorm. Lightning strikes the garden and there is a power outage. The priest says, "This is the Great Demon King!" and runs away, but he does hand the bill over to the stepmother. The stepmother, annoyed, takes out a knife and stabs the girl, saying, "I'll kill the demon!" The pain makes Boron move away from the girl. Boron: "Oh no! That was close. I was almost killed." The knife was stuck in the girl's right shoulder. The stepmother tries to finish off the girl, who is writhing in pain.
The father returns. He opens the door and sees the stepmother about to stab his daughter to death in the midst of a flash of lightning. Father: "What are you doing?" Stepmother: "Oh, you. No, it's not that, this is because the girl is possessed by the demon." Girl: "Dad, help me!"
The next day, after the rain. The stepmother is handcuffed and taken away by a police car. Boron: "Really. That was quite a disturbing incident." The girl suddenly looked up at the sky and began speaking into the empty space. Girl: "Thank you, Devil. I heard everything you said." Boron's face went red, and Nora smiled. Boron: "Oh! Jesus! Don't thank the Devil!"
Welp! That was a blast reading those! Bye! Have a great time!

"Magnetic levitation is already employed in systems such as Maglev trains, flywheels and high-speed machinery. Now researchers at the Technical University of Denmark have given this old technology a fresh twist by explaining how a magnet can be levitated simply by rotating another magnet of a similar size near it. This unusual effect was first demonstrated by an electronics/computer and software engineer, Hamdi Ucar, in 2021, and the TU-Denmark team say it could be exploited in the contactless handling of objects or used to trap and manipulate ferromagnetic microparticles.
There are three main types of magnetic levitation. In the first, known as active magnetic stabilization, a control system supplies the magnetic force required keep the levitating object balanced. The second, termed electrodynamic suspension, is used in Maglev trains. Here, a moving magnet induces a current in a stationary conductor, producing a repulsive force that increases with the speed of the moving magnet. The last category, called spin-stabilized levitation, features a levitating magnet that spins at around 500 revolutions per minute (rpm) and remains stable thanks to the gyroscopic effect.
The new type of levitation involves two magnets. The first, dubbed the “rotor”, is mounted on a motor with its north and south poles oriented perpendicular to its rotation axis and made to rotate at velocities of around 10 000 rpm. In the TU-Denmark team’s experiments, this magnet was spherical, 19 mm in diameter and made from neodymium-iron-boron.
The second magnet – the “floater” – is placed near the rotor, begins to spin automatically, and then moves towards the rotor until it hovers in space a few centimetres below it. The floater precesses with the same frequency as the rotor and its magnetization is oriented close to the axis of rotation and towards the like pole of the rotor magnet. If disturbed, a restoring force moves it back to its equilibrium position.
“It is quite surprising that magnetic levitation develops in such as relatively simple system,” says Rasmus Bjørk, a physicist at TU-Denmark who led the study together with Frederik Laust Durhuus and Joachim Marco Hermansen."
"“It is intuitive to all that the magnetostatic force that one magnet exerts on another can be both attractive and repulsive,” explains Durhuus. “Without rotation, the free magnet will rotate so the force becomes purely attractive and then the magnets will collide into each other. What makes the new magnetic levitation system so special is that the rotation itself allows the floater to remain in a counterintuitive configuration, nearly perpendicular to the rotor’s field, where the magnetostatic force both attracts and repels it.”

*CORINA MACHADO Y LA TRAICIÓN A LA PATRIA*
Atilio A. Boron
9 de julio de 2023
✍🏼📄
Supongamos que Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, miembro de la Cámara de Representantes de Estados Unidos, se hubiera hastiado con las bravuconadas irresponsables de Joe Biden (calificar a Xi Jinping como dictador, por ejemplo, luego del viaje de Blinken para “mejorar” las relaciones con China) y hubiera solicitado ayuda a una potencia extranjera, digamos por ejemplo Rusia y China, para que envíen una expedición militar a Estados Unidos o apliquen sanciones a este país con el propósito de lograr un “cambio de régimen”, es decir, la destitución de facto de Biden. ¿Qué habría ocurrido con ella?
Imaginemos algo más: si el asalto al Capitolio del 6 de enero del 2021 hubiera culminado exitosamente con la designación de un nuevo presidente --digamos Bob Menéndez, para poner a cualquier esperpento de la política norteamericana-- y en la jura hubieran participado los más distinguidos miembros del establishment entre los cuales se encontraba Ocasio-Cortez, y todos hubieran firmado un libro convalidando la legitimidad del nuevo mandatario, ¿cuál habría sido la respuesta de la Justicia estadounidense?
Seguramente que su situación legal empeoraría significativamente, porque ya no se trataba tan sólo de solicitar la intervención extranjera contra su país para, volviendo a Venezuela y al caso de María Corina Machado, deponer un gobierno legítimo como el de Hugo Chávez, sino que además tomó parte activa en la legitimación de un usurpador. Pero si Menéndez no hubiera podido mantenerse en el cargo porque una inmensa movilización popular repuso a Biden en su cargo y Ocasio-Cortez a partir de ese momento comenzara a viajar frecuentemente a Moscú o a Beijing para pedirle a las autoridades rusas o chinas que colaboren con las protestas violentas que ella y sus compañeros estaban organizando (como las violentas “guarimbas” venezolanas del 2014 y 2017) que dejaron un par de centenar de muertos y heridos. Y si además le pidió a esos mandatarios extranjeros que decretaran un bloqueo integral a las actividades económicas de Estados Unidos, de suerte tal que ya nada pudiera exportarse ni importarse y que además designasen a un “presidente encargado” de Estados Unidos, pongamos al impresentable de Marco Rubio, y hubieran decidido, a pedido de Alexandria, la expropiación de los activos de dos gigantescas empresas como CITGO y PdVSA, ¿qué creen que le hubiera ocurrido con ella? Respuesta: hubiera sido aprehendida y encarcelada de inmediato y, casi con seguridad sancionada por los tribunales de ese país con la pena capital o una prisión perpetua.
Volvamos ahora a Venezuela: María Corina fue aún más lejos: se reunió con el Presidente George W. Bush, el 31 de mayo del 2005 solicitando apoyo para acabar con el “régimen” de Hugo Chávez Frías. En 2014 se presentó ante una Asamblea de la OEA con el fantasioso cargo de “embajadora alterna de Panamá” para exigir a esa desacreditada institución que endureciera su oposición al gobierno venezolano. Durante estos años, sucesivos gobiernos de Estados Unidos apoyaron financieramente a diversas formaciones políticas que Machado fue creando a lo largo del tiempo, así como varias ONGs con las que está vinculada o dirige tras bambalinas al paso que solicitaba una acción más enérgica de Washington para atacar a Venezuela y acabar con Maduro.
En línea con este intenso activismo de Machado y el lobby antichavista, el 8 de marzo de 2015 Barack Obama emitió una insólita orden ejecutiva declarando la “emergencia nacional ante la amenaza inusual y extraordinaria” que el gobierno bolivariano representaba para Estados Unidos, sentando las bases jurídicas para la imposición de durísimas medidas punitivas contra el país sudamericano. Esta infame decisión fue prorrogada por Joe Biden y desde entonces, tanto EE.UU. como otros países han aplicado un total de 929 “medidas coercitivas unilaterales” en contra de Venezuela.
El costo económico de esas sanciones es escalofriante: 7.000 millones de dólares congelados en bancos; 5.000 millones dólares retenidos en el Fondo Monetario Internacional; 2.000 millones de dólares en 31 toneladas de oro depositadas en el Bank of England y confiscadas por el gobierno británico; 10.000 millones de dólares de Citgo Corp. confiscados por EE.UU más el saqueo de PdVSA. El desplome de las exportaciones a causa de estas sanciones fue descomunal: en 2012 ese país exportaba por valor de 75.762,8 millones de Euros; en 2021 apenas 3.005 millones de Euros. Y el costo en vidas humanas en los dos primeros años de la administración Trump asciende a 40.000 según un estudio elaborado por Mark Weisbrot y Jeffrey Sachs.
La conducta de María Corina Machado (y las de Leopoldo López, Julio Borges y Juan Guaidó) al solicitar al gobierno de Estados Unidos estas políticas contra Venezuela se encuadra nítidamente en la figura jurídica de “traición a la patria”. Así taxativamente lo expresa el Código Penal de Estados Unidos al establecer en su Titulo 18, inciso 2381 que: "Quien, debiendo lealtad a Estados Unidos, se declare en contra su país o se adhiera a sus enemigos, prestándoles ayuda y consuelo dentro de Estados Unidos o en cualquier otro lugar, es culpable de traición y sufrirá la pena de muerte, o será encarcelado y multado, e inhabilitado para ocupar cualquier cargo en Estados Unidos".
Por lo tanto, lo hecho por Corina Machado y sus compinches habría sido sancionado en Estados Unidos con la pena capital o, al menos, con cadena perpetua e inhabilitación para ejercer cargos públicos. El Código Penal de la Argentina sanciona esta conducta con penas que van desde los 10 años a cadena perpetua, con inhabilitación absoluta perpetua para ejercer cualquier cargo público. El Código Penal del Uruguay, que sería bueno que el presidente Lacalle Pou leyera, sanciona a conductas como las de Machado con “diez a treinta años de penitenciaría, y de dos a diez años de inhabilitación absoluta.” En Venezuela, en cambio, la Justicia de ese país (no el presidente) le aplicó la sanción más benigna: apenas una inhabilitación por quince años por flagrantes actos de traición a la patria. En Estados Unidos, Machado ya estaría en la death row de una cárcel de máxima seguridad. Mientras, la prensa hegemónica latinoamericana bate el parche de la exclusión de la contienda electoral a una persona que en cualquier otro país estaría en la cárcel hace tiempo.

Adam Smith desfigurado
Tumblr media
Por Atilio A. Boron
Fuentes: Página/12
Uno de los rasgos distintivos de los intelectuales conservadores es la impunidad con que difunden sus ideas –en realidad, sus “ocurrencias”, como dijera Octavio Paz- a través del inmenso aparato de los oligopolios mediáticos que los ampara y promueve.
El caso más reciente es el de Marcos Aguinis, un prolífico escritor que en sus mejores tiempos, antes de la lamentable involución ideológica de los últimos años que lo arrojó en brazos del macrismo y los energúmenos de la “infectadura”, supo ser Secretario de Cultura del gobierno de Raúl Alfonsín. En una nota publicada en La Nación (“El inmortal Adam Smith”, 15 enero 2022) rinde un homenaje a la figura de Adam Smith, lo que en principio está muy bien y sólo merecería mi aplauso.
El problema es que el Smith que presenta Aguinis poco tiene que ver con la obra de ese enorme pensador de la Ilustración Escocesa y padre fundador de la Economía Política. Lo que hace en su artículo es difundir una caricatura burdamente distorsionada del autor de La Riqueza de las Naciones, presentándolo como si fuera un profeta del egoísmo y el individualismo, un ingenuo adorador de los mercados y un enemigo declarado de los gobiernos. Esta operación de deconstrucción en clave reaccionaria no es nueva. El propio Aguinis elogia anteriores esfuerzos en esta dirección realizados por Mario Vargas Llosa y Alberto Benegas Lynch (h.), que incurrieron en sus nada inocentes desatinos.
En su nota Aguinis apela a una remanida cita de Smith para fundamentar la idea, insanablemente errónea, que “el progreso no se debe a la caridad, sino al egoísmo.” Cita, a continuación, un pasaje de La Riqueza de las Naciones en donde Smith dice que “No obtenemos los alimentos por la benevolencia del carnicero, del cervecero o el panadero, sino por la preocupación que tienen ellos en su propio interés, sus necesidades, sus ambiciones”. El tan ansiado motor del progreso entonces no es otro que el egoísmo institucionalizado en el “mercado libre”, especie tanto o más fantasmagórica o inhallable que el unicornio azul. Mercados hay, pero los mercados libres no existen: siempre son regulados por los actores más poderosos (monopolios, oligopolios) o por la intervención de los poderes públicos que corrigen sus inequidades o el deplorable “darwinismo social” de los mercados.
¿Es esto lo que creía Adam Smith? ¿Confiaba tan ciegamente en las virtudes del egoísmo? Decididamente no. Utilizando un lenguaje propio de la época decía que “los sirvientes, trabajadores y empleados de diferentes tipos constituyen la gran mayoría de cada sociedad. Y lo que mejora las condiciones de la gran mayoría de una población nunca puede ser considerado como una desventaja para el conjunto.” (pg. 70 de la edición original en inglés) Smith podría creer en algunas de las virtudes de una economía de mercado; sin embargo, una “sociedad de mercado” donde sólo sobrevivieran los “más aptos” repugnaba su espíritu humanista. Nada lo escandalizaba más, por ejemplo, que el trabajo infantil en las minas del Reino Unido o la abyecta pobreza de sus ciudades.
Hace unos años la revista inglesa The Economist aportó un baño de sobriedad a los apóstoles del neoliberalismo cuando dijo que “Mucha gente piensa que él fue un ‘libremercadista’ arquetípico. Pero Smith es a menudo muy mal citado.” (1º de noviembre de 2013) El escocés estaba muy preocupado por las perniciosas consecuencias económicas y sociales del egoísmo, y creía que el gobierno tenía una importante responsabilidad en tratar de combatir la injusticia producida por quienes tenían diferentes posibilidades de defender sus intereses: el salario en un caso, la ganancia en el otro. Esto exige la presencia de regulaciones impuestas a los terratenientes, industriales y comerciantes que, observa Smith, se hallan en constante conspiración a los fines de oprimir a los trabajadores y esquilmar a los consumidores.
En otro célebre pasaje que jamás citan sus actuales voceros Smith decía “los patronos, siendo pocos en número, pueden asociarse mucho más fácilmente; y la ley, además, autoriza o al menos no prohíbe tales asociaciones, mientras que sí prohíbe las de los trabajadores (los sindicatos). No tenemos leyes del Parlamento en contra de combinaciones encaminadas a bajar los salarios; pero tenemos muchas que penalizan las combinaciones que desean aumentarlos. Los patronos están siempre y en todo lugar en una suerte de asociación tácita, constante y uniforme para impedir el aumento de los salarios. (ibid. P. 60) Y más adelante remachaba su argumento diciendo que “los amos [se refiere a comerciantes, industriales y terratenientes] raramente se reúnen aun por entretenimiento o diversión sin que la conversación termine en una conspiración contra el público, o en una componenda para aumentar sus precios.” (p. 75) Smith sostenía que era responsabilidad del gobierno poner coto al desenfreno del egoísmo.
En nuestra crítica a la apología del liberalismo hecha por Vargas Llosa (Cf. El Hechicero de la Tribu. Mario Vargas Llosa y el liberalismo en América Latina) señalábamos la deformación que el pensamiento del humanista y economista escocés sufrió a manos de sus divulgadores. Allí citamos un artículo de Jacob Viner, un economista de Chicago, que ya en 1927 demolió los lugares comunes de la derecha y demostró que Smith estaba muy lejos de ser un librecambista radical, sino que admitía los importantes roles que debía cumplir el Estado. Señalaba entre ellos el dictado de Leyes de Navegación; que los salarios debían pagarse en dinero y no en especies; que el papel moneda debía estar regulado por el Estado; establecer premios y otros incentivos para promover el desarrollo de la industria textil; obras públicas en transporte para facilitar el comercio; regulación de las joint-stock companies y otros tipos de empresas; aceptar monopolios temporarios -incluidos copyrights y patentes- por un tiempo limitado; restricciones gubernamentales en las tasas de interés aplicadas a los prestatarios para compensar la “estupidez” (¡sic!) del inversionista, y, por último, entre tantas otras, las limitaciones a la exportación de granos (sólo en casos de extrema necesidad) y la introducción de “moderados impuestos a las exportaciones a efectos de reforzar el tesoro”. (J. Viner, “Adam Smith and Laissez Faire”, Journal of Political Economy , abril de 1927, pp. 198-232.)
Conclusión: si Aguinis respeta tanto al “inmortal Adam Smith” debería comenzar por honrar su legado y evitar presentar ante el público una caricatura de su pensamiento, sólo apta para su uso político en la Argentina actual y no para comprender la importancia de sus ideas.

Ernesto Che Guevara: legado de un discurso excepcional. Por Atilio A. Boron
Ernesto Che Guevara: legado de un discurso excepcional. Por Atilio A. Boron
Hace exactamente sesenta años Ernesto Che Guevara pronunciaba un extraordinario -y también profético- discurso en el marco de la reunión del Consejo Interamericano Económico y Social (CIES) de la OEA que tenía lugar en Punta del Este, Uruguay. Es un texto largo, que no puedo reproducir íntegramente aquí, pero que recomiendo muy enfáticamente como material de estudio a toda la militancia…

Never seen one like this before
Tourmaline is a boron rich mineral that usually crystallilses into prisms with a rounded triangular cross section in a wide variety of colours, depending on the elements present in its mother ichor at formation (as in the first photo surrounded by mica, measuring 2.6 x 1.5 x 1 cm). Growing mostly in pegmatites, those last fluid rich remnants of magmas (granitic in composition in this case) that have concentrated many rare elements that do not fit into the crystal structure of the common minerals such as feldspar and mica and brought them together into often large specimens.
Here we have an oddity like I have never seen before, born in the pegmatites of Minas Gerais in Brazil. Measuring 5.5 x 4.5 x 3.1 cm. Minute fibrous crystals are growing out from a crystal base, and I’m uncertain whether they formed that way or were transformed by passing mineralised fluids later in the specimen’s journey through geological history, a process known as metasomatism. Either way it gets a wow from me…

Boron is a chemical element with the symbol B and atomic number 5. Produced entirely by cosmic ray spallation and supernovae and not by stellar nucleosynthesis, it is a low-abundance element in the Solar system and in the Earth's crust.[13] Boron is concentrated on Earth by the water-solubility of its more common naturally occurring compounds, the borate minerals. These are mined industrially as evaporites, such as borax and kernite. The largest known boron deposits are in Turkey, the largest producer of boron minerals. Borax, its mineral form then known as tincal, glazes were used in China from AD 300, and some crude borax reached the West, where the Perso-Arab alchemist Jābir ibn Hayyān apparently mentioned it in AD 700. Marco Polo brought some glazes back to Italy in the 13th century. Agricola, around 1600, reports the use of borax as a flux in metallurgy. In 1777, boric acid was recognized in the hot springs (soffioni) near Florence, Italy, and became known as sal sedativum, with primarily medical uses. Boric acid has antiseptic, antifungal, and antiviral properties and for these reasons is applied as a water clarifier in swimming pool water treatment.[111] Mild solutions of boric acid have been used as eye antiseptics. Boron is an essential plant nutrient, required primarily for maintaining the integrity of cell walls. However, high soil concentrations of greater than 1.0 ppm lead to marginal and tip necrosis in leaves as well as poor overall growth performance. Levels as low as 0.8 ppm produce these same symptoms in plants that are particularly sensitive to boron in the soil. Nearly all plants, even those somewhat tolerant of soil boron, will show at least some symptoms of boron toxicity when soil boron content is greater than 1.8 ppm. When this content exceeds 2.0 ppm, few plants will perform well and some may not survive. The average cost of crystalline boron is $5/g.[71] Free boron is chiefly used in making boron fibers, where it is deposited by chemical vapor deposition on a tungsten core (see below). Boron fibers are used in lightweight composite applications, such as high strength tapes. This use is a very small fraction of total boron use. Boron is introduced into semiconductors as boron compounds, by ion implantation.
