Chemists have found a novel glass-forming liquid electrolyte that exhibits specific lithium-ion conduction. They study the speciation and dipole reorientation dynamics in the glass-forming liquid ...

Glass-forming systems have long fascinated researchers due to their unique transition from a fluid to a disordered solid state. Central to understanding these systems is the study of relaxation ...

In this series, Lagniappe presents a different work each week from the collection of the New Orleans Museum of Art, with commentary from a curator. Few forms so clearly reference the molten state of ...

A few days ago, word got out that Tesla had only recently finalized the Cybertruck’s design and dimensions, and now we get a concrete idea about some of the latest changes through new patent filings.

Researchers have succeeded in creating a new type of super-stable, durable glass with potential applications ranging from medicines, advanced digital screens, and solar cell technology. The study ...

The Tesla Cybertruck may not be coming this year, but the automaker's clearly busy sorting out what the production electric pickup truck will bring to the road. In a new patent application Tesla filed ...

Scott Fouche has returned to Lancaster as the glass studio manager at the Ohio Glass Museum. Fouche, a Bloom-Carroll graduate, previously worked as a glass artist in the museum's hot glass studio. He ...

Chalcogenide glass is widely used today in a number of specialist optics applications. Recent experiments with adding silver to the glass-forming materials that make chalcogenide glass have revealed ...

Physically speaking, glass is a rather unusual material. Most solid materials are significantly ‘ordered’ with their constituent molecules or atoms in a regular arrangement, repeating patterns called ...
