(Nanowerk News) Structure of amorphous materials clarified. This project has so far been a big challenge due to the complexity of this material class. Modern preparation methods in combination with ...

Scientists have adapted a centuries-old principle of chemistry to fine-tune a new type of glass made from metal–organic ...

A group of scientists have discovered that electrically-heated common, homogeneous silicate glasses appear to defy Joule's first law. Characterizing and predicting how electrically-heated silicate ...

Silicate glass has many applications, including the use as a nuclear waste form to immobilize radioactive elements from spent fuel. However, it has one disadvantage -- it corrodes when it comes into ...
