Researchers uncovered how soft regions in amorphous silicon mix order and disorder, offering new insights for designing stronger amorphous materials. Persistence diagram obtained from the structure of ...

The X-ray Laboratory of Rigaku Corporation, a Rigaku Holdings Group company and a global solution partner for X-ray analysis (headquarters: Akishima, Tokyo; president and CEO: Jun Kawakami; “Rigaku”), ...

Persistence diagram obtained from the structure of amorphous silicon, examples of the local ring structures corresponding to each point in the diagram, and representative structures including atoms ...

Alkaline water splitting has the advantages of low cost, long lifetime and ease of maintenance, and is widely applied commercially. However, the sluggish kinetics of HER inhibits the further ...

"Space ice" contains tiny crystals and is not a completely disordered material like liquid water, as previously assumed, according to a new study by scientists at UCL (University College London) and ...

Researchers used experiments and machine learning to accurately model the disordered atomic structure of amorphous aluminum oxide for the first time. A special feature of aluminum oxide is its ability ...

The amorphous metal ("liquid glass") technology is fascinating, but the route to commercial success has been daunting since its invention in 1993 by Caltech professor William Johnson. He cofounded ...

In the past, chalcogenide infrared (IR) glasses, also known as chalcogenides, were considered exotic materials owing to their limited demand. However, emerging use cases and a rising interest in ...

Yale researchers have found a novel mechanism of how metallic glass deforms at a nanometer scale. Jan Schroers, a professor of mechanical engineering and materials science, and Naijia Liu, a former ...
