If you thought ice varieties got no more interesting than crushed versus cubed, think again: Researchers have discovered an ice form whose haphazard molecular structure resembles that of liquid water, ...

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 ...

(Nanowerk News) 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 ...

Scientists have created a new type of ice that matches the density and structure of water, perhaps opening a door to studying water’s mysterious properties. “It might be liquid water frozen in time,” ...

AZoNano speaks to Dr. John Miao about his involvement in the breakthrough research that could rewrite our understanding of how substances are formed at an atomic level. Using an innovative atomic ...

(Nanowerk Spotlight) Scientists have recently discovered a new class of amorphous nanomaterials that are created by introducing atomic irregular arrangements. These materials demonstrate excellent ...

Fine-tuning the thermal conductivity of amorphous silicon used in technologies such as solar cells and image sensors should become much easier thanks to the computational topology and machine-learning ...
