A research team from NIMS, Tohoku University and AIST has developed a new technique for controlling the nanostructures and ...

(Nanowerk Spotlight) Scientists have recently discovered a new class of amorphous nanomaterials that are created by introducing atomic irregular arrangements. These materials demonstrate excellent ...

A recent study in Nature Communications explored nanoporous amorphous carbon nanopillars, produced using an innovative method that combines self-assembled polymeric carbon precursors with nanoimprint ...

Scientists from Tokyo Metropolitan University have created a new model for disordered materials to study how amorphous materials resist stress. They treated groups of atoms and molecules as squishy ...

Researchers have shown that, for amorphous materials, cyclic material fatigue can begin to fracture at the same level of stress as fractures due to constant loading. By using computer simulations, the ...

Amorphous substances influence the durability, strength, and sustainability of concrete in cementitious products, and they are an essential aspect of cementitious materials. Supplementary cementitious ...

Researchers explain the distinctive low-temperature thermal properties of glasses using molecular dynamics simulations. By focusing on string-like defects, they were able to create a unified ...

The matter of how metals deform or respond to external stresses has been extensively studied among metallurgists for centuries. When it comes to conventional metals—the crystalline kind with atoms ...
