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.

The research team incorporated bi-phase interfacial engineering and developed high-entropy crystalline/amorphous (HECA) nanolaminates, creating a bi-phase structure to effectively mitigate ...

Water is ubiquitous and seemingly ordinary, possessing no distinct color or odor. Though we often take water for granted, it ...

It focuses on understanding structure-property relationships in materials using mathematical and graphical descriptions of structure, symmetry, and matter tensors in crystalline and noncrystalline ...

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

Understanding the make-up of crystalline structures is a vital aspect of the characterisation of new compounds, and can be regarded as an important first step towards the possibility of tailoring ...

Highly ordered single-crystal sp²c-COFs play indispensable roles in delving into the molecular structures ... thus generating only polycrystalline or amorphous compounds instead of single ...

Researchers transformed 2D kaolinite into 3D amorphous cement using chemical reactions in an alkaline medium. This ...
