When a liquid is cooled rapidly, it gains viscosity and eventually becomes a rigid solid glass. The point at which it does so is known as the glass transition. A collaborative research group has ...

The glass transition of polymer materials is a crucial factor that affects material properties. Typically, this transition is analyzed using Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC). However, sometimes ...
A collaborative group from Tohoku University and Johns Hopkins University have provided valuable insights into the glass transition. When a liquid is cooled rapidly, it gains viscosity and eventually ...
