The process of liquid-to-glass transition is a complex procedure in science, as is the glass-to-liquid transition known as glass melting. In a new report published in Science Advances, Qi Zhang and a ...

Researchers from the Shanghai Institute of Optics and Fine Mechanics (SIOM) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) have prepared a P-Sn-O-Cl-N glass system at 350 °C and explored its structural ...

Using a liquid-phase reaction, the researcher has developed transparent, colorless, low-melting glass that melts at temperatures as low as 500 °C, and has enhanced its water resistance by improving ...

In this study, colorless, optically transparent oxide glass with a Young’s modulus exceeding 130 GPa was successfully fabricated by melt-quenching. Glass is a versatile material used in a wide range ...

In 1842, the famous British researcher Michael Faraday made an amazing observation by chance: A thin layer of water forms on the surface of ice, even though it is well below zero degrees. So the ...
