The design of new glasses is often plagued by poorly efficient Edisonian “trial-and-error”
discovery approaches. As an alternative route, the Materials Genome Initiative has largely …

Atomic structure dictates the performance of all materials systems; the characteristic of
disordered materials is the significance of spatial and temporal fluctuations on composition …

Though extensively studied, hardness, defined as the resistance of a material to
deformation, still remains a challenging issue for a formal theoretical description due to its …

The development of new glassy materials is key for addressing major global challenges in
energy, medicine, and advanced communications systems. For example, thin, flexible, and …

Borosilicate glasses display a rich complexity of chemical behavior depending on the details
of their composition and thermal history. Noted for their high chemical durability and thermal …

In this study, eight glass samples were prepared with the composition of [x Bi 2 O 3-(75-x) B
2 O 3–15TeO 2–5MgO–5PbO; where x= 0, 10, 20, 25, 30, 40, 50, and 60 mol%]. In the …

Traditional ceramics or metals cannot simultaneously achieve ultrahigh strength and high
electrical conductivity. The elemental carbon can form a variety of allotropes with entirely …

Amicroscopic physical description of the glassy state long has eluded even the top scientists
in condensed matter physics because of the complicated noncrystalline nature of glass …

Abstract Obtaining “hard” and “crack-resistant” glasses have always been of great important
in glass science and glass technology. However, in most commercial glasses both …

The glass science and technology is a rapidly develo** field which is focused on
development of new glasses with excellent properties. Glasses are the non-crystalline …
