The soft, solid-like properties of colloidal gels are essential in fields such as food and medical applications, but how these properties manifest themselves is a long-standing mystery. Until now, it ...

Researchers from the Institute of Industrial Science at the University of Tokyo used molecular dynamics calculations to simulate the glass-forming ability of metallic mixtures. They show that even ...

Glasses are neither fluids nor crystals. They are amorphous solids and one of the big puzzles in condensed matter physics. For decades, the question of how glass forms has been a matter of controversy ...

Scientists have for the first time visualized the transformation of powder mixtures into molten glass. A better understanding of this process will make it possible to produce high quality glass at ...

Physicists from the University of Waterloo have published a paper describing exactly how glass forms on a molecular level, providing an answer to a question that has stumped scientists for years. The ...

As aforementioned, deep eutectic points in binary and ternary alloy systems have been widely used as an indication for seeking good glass formers. However, it is impossible to represent more than ...

[3-25-2011] The U.S. Food and Drug Administration is advising drug manufacturers of the potential formation of glass lamellae (glass fragments) in injectable drugs filled in small-volume glass vials[1 ...
