Some materials behave unexpectedly. They crack differently than expected, or react in ways that are hard to explain. The ...

Researchers at Delft University of Technology, led by assistant professor Richard Norte, have unveiled a remarkable new material with potential to impact the world of material science: amorphous ...

Aluminum oxide or alumina is the fruit fly of materials science: thoroughly researched and well-understood. This compound, with the simple chemical formula Al 2 O 3, occurs frequently in Earth's crust ...

In diverse industrial applications, the properties of a mixture of compounds is considerably influenced by their amorphous content. Among pharmaceutical preparation procedures, the crystallinity is an ...

pv magazine: In “Solar Cells and Modules,” which was recently published by Springer, you dedicate a long chapter to amorphous silicon solar cells, which is very much still a niche technology reserved ...

Polymeric amorphous solid dispersions are the most commonly used technology, but amorphous APIs remain inherently unstable. A large percentage of small-molecule APIs in development today suffer from ...
