Corning uses neutrons to reveal ‘atomic rings’ help predict glass performance
From DOE/Oak Ridge National Laboratory 31/01/24 Glass is being used in a wider range of high-performance applications, including those for consumers and industry, military and aerospace electronics, coatings and optics. Because of the extreme precision demanded for use in products such as mobile phones and jet aircraft, glass substrates must not change their shape during […]
Discovery of structural regularity hidden in silica glass
From Tohoku University 30/11/23 Glass is a fundamental material used in insulation and in the screens of computers and smartphones. Despite its long history, the disordered atomic structure of glass is still not fully understood by scientists. This lack of understanding makes it difficult to control glass’s structural properties and design efficient materials. A research […]
