A research team from the Erich Schmid Institute of Materials Science, Austrian Academy of Sciences, has unveiled an approach to improve irradiation resistance through high entropy crystalline and ...

This is a visual representation of the difference between an organized, crystalline structure and an amorphous glass structure. Disclaimer: AAAS and EurekAlert! are not responsible for the accuracy of ...

Photocatalysis, a technology that converts solar energy into chemical reactions, holds immense promise for addressing energy shortages and environmental pollution. However, traditional crystalline ...

For a long time, it was thought that amorphous solids do not selectively absorb light because of their disordered atomic structure. A new study disproves this theory and shows that amorphous solids ...

Grinding a crystalline metal-organic framework (MOF) material in a ball mill converts it into an amorphous structure and then into other crystal morphologies, according to research presented Tuesday ...

Researchers have developed a new method for disrupting the crystal structure of a semiconductor that requires as little as one billion times less power density. This advancement could unlock wider ...

An animal's hard tissue is mainly composed of crystalline calcium phosphate. In vitro, small changes in the reaction conditions affect the species of calcium phosphate formed, whereas, in vivo, ...
