Glass-forming systems have long fascinated researchers due to their unique transition from a fluid to a disordered solid state. Central to understanding these systems is the study of relaxation ...

Pure quartz glass is highly transparent and resistant to thermal, physical, and chemical impacts. These are optimum prerequisites for use in optics, data technology or medical engineering. For ...

Physically speaking, glass is a rather unusual material. Most solid materials are significantly ‘ordered’ with their constituent molecules or atoms in a regular arrangement, repeating patterns called ...

With damage tolerance rivalling advanced engineering alloys and thermoplastic forming capabilities analogous to conventional plastics, metallic glasses are emerging as a modern engineering material.

Researchers studied the glass-forming ability of two simple systems, establishing the 'thermodynamic interface penalty,' which is an indicator of the extent of the structural difference between a ...

Corning Incorporated has long been a leader in materials science, known for pushing the boundaries of glass and ceramic technologies. Recently, the company introduced a groundbreaking material called ...

(Nanowerk News) For millennia, people have used molten sand and other ingredients to create glass and fashion beads, vessels, lenses and windows. These days, metallic glasses - made entirely of metal ...
