A collaboration between scientists at Cambridge and UCL has led to the discovery of a new form of ice that more closely resembles liquid water than any other and may hold the key to understanding this ...

Researchers at UCL and the University of Cambridge have discovered a new type of ice that more closely resembles liquid water than any other known ices and that may rewrite our understanding of water ...

An amorphous diamond – one that lacks the crystalline structure of diamond, but is every bit as hard – has been created by a Stanford-led team of researchers. But what good is an amorphous diamond?

Scientists in Italy have discovered that carbon dioxide can form a glass, the British journal Nature reports on Thursday. Under extremely high pressures of up to half a million atmospheres, molecules ...

'Amorphous ice' forms when water is rapidly cooled to form a disordered glass-like solid rather than the common form of ice, which is crystalline. Now researchers have found a surprising degree of ...

(Nanowerk News) Many substances with different chemical and physical properties, from diamonds to graphite, are made up of carbon atoms. Amorphous forms of solid carbon do not have a fixed crystal ...

The more amorphous a metal becomes, the better its electrochemical properties in a battery. However, the battery industry's poster child, lithium, appears mainly in crystalline form – leading to a ...

University of Houston Scientist has been awarded a grant to research the use of amorphous materials. Bill Stamps tells us where the research could lead. “So we need to make a memory which per given ...

Most engineers think amorphous iron is an exotic material that is hard to come by. But the interest level in this metal is rising because its magnetic properties can promote energy efficiency in ...

Scientists have discovered a new form of ice that more closely resembles liquid water than any other and may hold the key to understanding this most famous of liquids. A collaboration between ...
