University of Oregon physicist Eric Corwin and a team of current and former students have used computer simulations to construct what they describe as the first “ideal glass,” a disordered material ...

Its molecules are jumbled like those in a liquid, a random structure from just one of countless possible arrangements. An ideal glass is different. What would appear to be a jumbled mess of molecules ...

March 2026 is set to be a significant month for PlayStation enthusiasts, featuring a wide array of releases that cater to diverse gaming preferences. The schedule includes a mix of high-profile ...

Diamonds are famous for their strength, but scientists have long suspected that another form of diamond might be even harder. Evidence of this was gathered over the past sixty years in meteorite ...

The computer-generated "ideal glass" solves a 75-year-old physics paradox and promises revolutionary materials.

Researchers design scalable nanostructures that selectively reflect propulsion laser light while reducing heat and mass for fuel free interplanetary travel.

Physicists have long suspected that an “ideal glass” state could exist. The idea was proposed in 1948 by Princeton chemist Walter Kauzmann, who theorized that cooling glass far enough could eventually ...

Crystalline nanomaterials are valuable because their highly ordered structures give them useful properties for technologies ...

The types of glass that we encounter in everyday life, such as window glass or smartphone screens, are disordered solids. This means that they consist of particles locked in place, like those in ...

A time crystal more complex than any made before has been created in a quantum computer. Exploring the properties of this unusual quantum setup strengthens the case for quantum computers as machines ...

The potential of photonic-crystal (PC) surface-emitting lasers (SELs) has been demonstrated by their high output power and narrow beam divergence. These properties make them suitable for applications ...
