Amorphous materials such as glass are solids whose internal structure lacks a repeating pattern. Their molecules are arranged ...

In recent years, scientists have been studying special materials called topological materials, with special attention paid to the shape, or topology, of their electronic structures (electronic bands).

This paper describes the amounts and size distributions of amorphous nanoparticles in clays, soils and marine sediments, and the effect of amorphous nanoparticles on the properties of clays, soils and ...

They have now confirmed that the distinctive geometric shapes of some clusters, as well as the irregularity of amorphous structures, can be fully identified mathematically. The insights gathered by ...

Francisco Castro won professional recognition for his Mechanical Engineering Outstanding PhD Dissertation in 2009. His research interests include the mechanical characterization of polymers, ...

Many substances around us, from table salt and sugar to most metals, are arranged into crystals. Because their molecules are laid out in an orderly, repetitive pattern, much is understood about their ...
