The construction of single‐atom‐thick sheets of boron on a silver substrate, which was published in late 2015, represents a significant advance towards the realization of useful two‐dimensional materials based solely on boron. This Highlight provides background information on the topic of boron allotropes and an outlook for further work in this area.
