Physicists have long pondered if there’s a way to form glass with minimal entropy, known as “ideal glass.” A team of scientists may have proven its possible.

Material engineers and scientists have long wanted to understand the atomic structures of amorphous solids such as glass, rubber and plastics more fully. Unlike the structures of crystalline materials ...

Scientists have created the first computer model of an “ideal glass,” a theoretical material ...

When you think of glass, you probably picture something fragile and brittle, not a material built for high-stress electromechanical components. However, researchers at Germany's Saarland University ...

Single-element amorphous metals, or metallic glass, are considered an ideal model systems for studying atomic-scale amorphous and glass formation. Moreover, their unique physical and chemical ...

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 ...

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 ...

Take a moment to look at the screen you are reading this on. Whether it is a phone or a monitor, you are staring through a ...

For more than a century, an important class of matter -- the amorphous solid -- has eluded scientists' ability to depict nature at the level of atoms and molecules. Until now. A new study reports the ...

The detailed structure of glass has always been a mystery in science. A research team has now discovered that the amorphous and crystalline metallic glass have the same structural building blocks. And ...
