Why do glass and other amorphous materials deform more easily in some regions than in others? A research team from the University of Osaka, the National Institute of Advanced Industrial Science and ...

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

Researchers uncovered how soft regions in amorphous silicon mix order and disorder, offering new insights for designing stronger amorphous materials. Persistence diagram obtained from the structure of ...

What is X-Ray Crystallography? X-ray crystallography is a powerful analytical technique used to determine the atomic and molecular structure of crystalline materials. It involves directing a beam of X ...

XRD works by directing X-rays onto a crystalline material and analyzing the angles and intensities of the diffracted beams. The atomic planes within the crystal act as a three-dimensional grating, ...

Alkaline water splitting has the advantages of low cost, long lifetime and ease of maintenance, and is widely applied commercially. However, the sluggish kinetics of HER inhibits the further ...
