Cement and concrete (the most manufactured materials in the world) account today for about 8 percent of the world’s total […]

Oxide glasses are disordered molecular structures and typically show poor intrinsic ductility. As a consequence, these materials are brittle. Although […]

For glass scientists, the periodic table is their oyster—virtually all elements turn into a glass if quenched fast enough. Yet […]

A team of UCLA engineers has received a $1.5 million grant from the National Science Foundation to develop 3-D-printed concrete […]

From windows to tableware to fiber optics, oxide glasses are everywhere you look. Oxide glasses (typically silica) are used frequently […]

Many natural materials offer unusual mechanical performances. Natural cellular materials like bones simultaneously exhibit low weight and superior mechanical properties […]

Vitrification and irradiation can both result in the disordering of materials, that is, in the loss of the structural periodicity […]
