Since the invention and further development of lasers in the 1960s, photonics has grown
into a field that permeates virtually every aspect of modern life. As photonics deals with the …

Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) is a powerful tool to address some of the most
challenging issues in glass science and technology, such as the nonequilibrium nature of …

Dental glass-ceramics (DGCs) are developed by controlled crystallization of oxide glasses
and form an important group of biomaterials used in modern dentistry. They are also of great …

The objective of this communication is to clarify the meanings of solid and liquid, to dwell on
the ultimate fate of glass in the limit of infinitely long time, and to propose a modern …

At present synchrotron and neutron sources are the preferred choices for the Pair
Distribution Function (PDF) analysis, but there is a need to explore PDF in a laboratory XRD …

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 …

The glass transition temperature (T g) is a kinetic property of major importance for both
fundamental and applied glass science. In this study, we designed and trained an artificial …

The application of machine learning to predict materials' properties usually requires a large
number of consistent data for training. However, experimental datasets of high quality are …

The global market for dental materials is predicted to exceed 10 billion dollars by 2020. The
main drivers for this growth are easing the workflow of dentists and increasing the comfort of …

Although molecular dynamics (MD) simulations are commonly used to predict the structure
and properties of glasses, they are intrinsically limited to short time scales, necessitating the …
