Borophene, a single layer of boron atoms, has many of the exotic properties of its better-known cousin graphene. Here, the authors use ab initio calculations to understand the atomic origin of the tilt in the two-dimensional Dirac cone of 8Pmmn borophene, thereby suggesting atomic substitutions to vary the tilt.
