Published in the journal, ‘Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences USA’, the findings address a long-standing ...

An amorphous material is one that may have short range atomic order but that lacks the translational symmetry (long range order) of a crystalline solid. Glasses are an example of amorphous materials ...

Understanding the formation of amorphous solids, such as glasses, colloids and granular materials, is a challenge. As with many long-standing problems, its description is deceptively simple ...

Not only do we think of cats as liquid objects, they smugly seem to know it too. Science has now effectively proven it: when ...

Most amorphous metals are alloys rather than pure metals. These materials have atoms of varying sizes in random arrangement in the solid. They exhibit a high viscosity in molten form which prevents ...

Researchers at Nagoya University in Japan have addressed a significant challenge in nanosheet technology. Their innovative approach employs surfactants to produce amorphous nanosheets from various ...

The first X-ray strain measurements in amorphous metals allow for new understanding of complex glassy materials. Amorphous materials such as glass fibres and bulk metallic glasses are widely used ...

Materials such as polystyrene (PS), polycarbonate (PC), acrylics (PMMA), acrylonitrile-butadiene styrene (ABS) and polyvinyl chloride (PVC) are said to be amorphous thermoplastics. This signifies that ...

Solid electrolyte composed of nanoparticles embedded in an amorphous matrix shows high conductivity, formability, and electrochemical stability. Often overlooked, rechargeable batteries play an ...
