Glass, as an amorphous solid, exhibits a rich tapestry of atomic arrangements that govern its structure and dynamic properties. Recent investigations have illuminated the interplay between short-range ...

People who investigate scientific topics either love or hate glass, which is a confusing none-of-the-above unicorn: neither fully liquid nor fully solid, exhibiting some properties of each, but ...

Tesla has applied for a patent on new glass technology for better noise reduction and temperature control inside its vehicles. Over the last few years, Tesla has been focusing on material development ...

Glass has many applications that call for different properties, such as resistance to thermal shock or to chemically harsh environments. Glassmakers commonly use additives such as boron oxide to tweak ...

The detailed structure of glass has always been a mystery in science. A research team has now discovered that the amorphous and crystalline metallic glass have the same structural building blocks. And ...

(Nanowerk News) We can look through glass, but what glass itself looks like on the inside has so far remained a mystery - at least as far as the precise position of the atoms is concerned. Scientists ...

(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 ...

Tesla has obtained a patent for a new way to make glass that is evidently going to be used for Cybertruck’s novel windshield. There are a lot of things about the Cybertrucks that are unlike any other ...

Glass sponges - as the name suggests - have a glass-based skeleton composed of a network of glass needles, hooks, stars, and spheres. To achieve such a unique architecture they have to manipulate the ...

A 3D printable bio-active glass could be used to repair bone damage and help them grow back, a study suggests. The newly developed bio-glass—made with “green” and "cost-efficient" methods—was found to ...
