ON account of the present great interest in the interpretation of X-ray patterns for amorphous substances (broad haloes) it seems desirable to present in a preliminary way a few of the observations ...

Tokyo - Materials that have a disordered structure with no regular repeating pattern are described as amorphous. Such materials can be found in nature and also have a variety of applications in ...

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, Vol. 106, No. 36 (Sep. 8, 2009), pp. 15165-15170 (6 pages) Stable glasses of indomethacin (IMC) were prepared by using ...

A collaboration between scientists at Cambridge and UCL has led to the discovery of a new form of ice that more closely resembles liquid water than any other and may hold the key to understanding this ...

The X-ray diffraction patterns of silicate glasses and liquids reveal similar characteristics over a wide pressure and temperature range. Beyond the increase in Si coordination observed at 20 GPa, we ...

Grinding a crystalline metal-organic framework (MOF) material in a ball mill converts it into an amorphous structure and then into other crystal morphologies, according to research presented Tuesday ...

Amorphous substances influence the durability, strength, and sustainability of concrete in cementitious products, and they are an essential aspect of cementitious materials. Supplementary cementitious ...

Diffractometers have been around for a long time and are used to analyze various types of materials and provide information regarding their structure. While there are a few different types, we’re ...

Researchers have demonstrated a link between local structural ordering and scattering pattern features for tetrahedral liquids. It is hoped that the findings will lead to facile experimental ...
