The so-called glass transition is the process by which some liquid-like materials become solid-like, without forming a ...

Even more interestingly, however, the macroscopic response of the bulk metallic glass is found to be less stiff than the local atomic next-neighbour bonds due to structural rearrangements at the 0 ...

The approach uses sulfur to create a solid electrode—its porous atomic structure allows for ion diffusion without movement of intermediaries. To create the electrode, the team created a glass ...

Scientists introduced atomic defects in spinel using cerium, and voilà! The gemstone became a solid qubit system.

From the bronze age to the Industrial Revolution and beyond, the discovery and development of new materials has been a ...

From the Bronze age to the Industrial Revolution and beyond, the discovery and development of new materials has been a driving force in human history.

But this week, researchers described a lithium-sulfur battery that still has over 80 percent of its original capacity after 25,000 charge/discharge cycles. All it took was a solid electrolyte that was ...

While earlier experiments explored the atom and its structure ... split the atomic nucleus using a “handmade array of transformers, rectifiers, glass tubes and vacuum pumps,” Priestley ...
