The well-known expansion of water on cooling below 277 K is one of several peculiar properties that could signal a second critical point near 220 K and 0.1 GPa in pressure, deep in the supercooled ...

Physically speaking, glass is a rather unusual material. Most solid materials are significantly ‘ordered’ with their constituent molecules or atoms in a regular arrangement, repeating patterns called ...

Glass is heat-treated for two reasons: the first is to increase its strength to resist external stresses such as wind and snow loads, or thermal loads caused by the sun’s energy. The second is to ...

Growth circumstances such as off-stoichiometry effects in the Zn and Fe content, nonzero Fe 2+ /Fe 3+ ratios, and also micro/nano strains all impact the overall characteristics of nanostructured ...

Much fuss has been made over the strength of 3D printed parts. These parts are obviously stronger in one direction than another, and post processing can increase that strength. What we’re lacking is ...
