Researchers at the Indian Institute of Science Education and Research (IISER) Pune and the CSIR-National Chemical Laboratory ...

Published in the journal, ‘Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences USA’, the findings address a long-standing ...

Not only do we think of cats as liquid objects, they smugly seem to know it too. Science has now effectively proven it: when ...

Most amorphous metals are alloys rather than pure metals. These materials have atoms of varying sizes in random arrangement in the solid. They exhibit a high viscosity in molten form which prevents ...

Researchers at Nagoya University in Japan have addressed a significant challenge in nanosheet technology. Their innovative approach employs surfactants to produce amorphous nanosheets from various ...

Understanding the formation of amorphous solids, such as glasses, colloids and granular materials, is a challenge. As with many long-standing problems, its description is deceptively simple ...

Materials such as polystyrene (PS), polycarbonate (PC), acrylics (PMMA), acrylonitrile-butadiene styrene (ABS) and polyvinyl chloride (PVC) are said to be amorphous thermoplastics. This signifies that ...

Pune and the CSIR-National Chemical Laboratory (NCL) Pune have shown that the macroscopic deformation of amorphous solids is controlled by structural ...

Researchers have explored the mechanism behind the emerging property of recently discovered exotic disordered state of matter ...

Solid electrolyte composed of nanoparticles embedded in an amorphous matrix shows high conductivity, formability, and electrochemical stability. Often overlooked, rechargeable batteries play an ...

Which is why there is so much promise in all-solid-state batteries. The problem so far is discovering which solid electrolytes offer such potential advantages. In a step toward that goal ...
