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 ...

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 ...

Tokyo, Japan - Glass is such a common, everyday material that you probably don't think about it much. It may surprise you to learn that researchers today still don't understand how glass forms.

Lowering the 'softening temperature' via electric field to form glass products into specific shapes offers a way to save significant amounts of energy vs. traditional forming approaches Washington, ...

Precise monitoring of viscosity during the melting process is crucial for quality assurance in quartz glass production. In this project, a Sensor Technology TorqSense torque transducer (SGR541) was ...

The gas is used in various applications such as the production of float glass semiconductors, metal treatment, chemical processes, and in various processes in the oil and gas industry. “ Nitrogen or ...

On a serendipitous occasion, listening to one professor speak about the remarkable effect of moderate electrical fields on lowering the sintering temperature of certain ceramic powders, another began ...
