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

A QUESTION of fundamental importance in the theory of the solid state is the nature of the arrangement of the ultimate particles in amorphous ... as in crystals, the orientation of individual ...

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

This type of silicon has an irregular or amorphous crystal structure, which means it doesn't really have any repeating or lattice-like arrangement, even on the microscopic scale. Spacecraft often ...

These materials combine organic molecules with metal halide units, forming structures ... crystals, which are time-intensive to produce and limited in size. Ma's team took advantage of the ...

Many researchers have been working to find better conductors for nanoscale electronics, but so far the best candidates have had extremely precise crystalline structures ... avoid damaging or ...

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

Skyrmions are tiny vortex-like structures found in various condensed-matter systems, such as helical ferromagnets and liquid crystals. Blue phase III is an amorphous phase of liquid crystals that ...

Using a servo-controlled truss, a unique 3D surface can dynamically transition between absorption, reflection, and ...
