The process of liquid-to-glass transition is a complex procedure in science, as is the glass-to-liquid transition known as glass melting. In a new report published in Science Advances, Qi Zhang and a ...

Researchers from the Shanghai Institute of Optics and Fine Mechanics (SIOM) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) have prepared a P-Sn-O-Cl-N glass system at 350 °C and explored its structural ...

A model study of titanium–copper alloys found that a congruent-melting composition formed glass more readily than a eutectic ...

In 1842, the famous British researcher Michael Faraday made an amazing observation by chance: A thin layer of water forms on the surface of ice, even though it is well below zero degrees. So the ...

In this study, colorless, optically transparent oxide glass with a Young’s modulus exceeding 130 GPa was successfully fabricated by melt-quenching. Glass is a versatile material used in a wide range ...

Humans have been chemically modifying their world for far longer than you might think. Long before they had the slightest idea of what was happening chemically, they were turning clay into bricks, ...

First patented in 1931 by Siemens und Halske Company, Germany, cold crucible induction melting is predicated on the principles of inductively heating material inside a crucible while cooling the ...
