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 ...

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 ...

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

Tokyo, Japan – Glass might seem to be an ordinary material we encounter every day, but the physics at play inside are actually quite complex and still not completely understood by scientists. Some ...

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 ...

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, ...
