As is well known, amorphous materials typically have lower density than crystalline phases. As a result, the change in shape and volume for an applied load is anticipated to be greater for ...

This innovative material architecture exploits interfacial and synergistic effects between high entropy crystalline and amorphous plates, exhibiting structural stability under extreme irradiation ...

If the material is initially amorphous, the molecules will have a random organization ... necking occurs in one region and the molecular structure starts to have the symmetry of a crystalline material ...

Caltech researchers have developed PAMs, a novel material that blends the properties of solids and liquids, making them ...

Its atomic structure is the same throughout the material. Contrast with amorphous semiconductor. See crystalline silicon. THIS DEFINITION IS FOR PERSONAL USE ONLY. All other reproduction requires ...

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

The team has developed a range of engineering materials by assembling amorphous/crystalline micro/nano particles in a specific way. These materials are strong and tough (qualities typically seen as ...

An intense laser or current pulse heats and melts the crystalline material, which is subsequently quenched into the amorphous state. To switch the material back into the crystalline state ...

Ammonia (NH3) is traditionally produced through the energy-intensive Haber-Bosch process which converts nitrogen (N2) and ...
