A research team from the Erich Schmid Institute of Materials Science, Austrian Academy of Sciences, has unveiled an approach to improve irradiation resistance through high entropy crystalline and ...

The idea of using differences in the structure and hence in the properties of the crystalline and amorphous states of a compound was first developed in the 1960s by Stanford Ovshinsky 3.

"On short timescales, glass behaves much like a solid. But the liquidlike structure of glass means that over a long enough ...

crystalline and amorphous semiconductors. Crystalline semiconductors possess a well-ordered atomic or molecular structure while amorphous semiconductors lack such regularity. Consequently ...

A research team has discovered that achiral hard banana-shaped particles can spontaneously form exotic structures like ...

Researchers transformed 2D kaolinite into 3D amorphous cement using chemical reactions in an alkaline medium. This breakthrough creates a sustainable, CO2-free alternative to traditional cement, ...
