Glass is one of the most common subjects we see every day, but the detailed structure of this non-metallic and non-liquid material has always been a major mystery in science. A research team co ...

Even in more mainstream homes, frameless shower enclosures made of structural glass panels have become common. Structural glass isn’t a new material, although it’s being used in new ways.

To uncover more about the structural regularity hidden in glassy materials, a research group has focused on ring shapes in the chemically bonded networks of glass.

Until recently, there were good antiballistic materials and good structural materials, and — materials engineers and end-users have usually assumed — never the twain shall meet. For example, a fiber ...

Heswall, United Kingdom--(Newsfile Corp. - October 8, 2024) - John Knight Glass, a leading manufacturer and supplier of bespoke glazing solutions throughout the UK, is excited to announce the ...

A research team led by SUTD has created nanoscale glass structures with near-perfect reflectance, overturning long-held assumptions about what low-index materials can do in photonics.

The Menokin House sits on a 500-acre historical plantation in Virginia and will be restored and preserved by using structural glass to fill in its gaps ...

“Glass as a structural material kind of breaks people’s brains a little bit,” says Michael Stern, a former MIT graduate student and researcher in both MIT’s Media Lab and Lincoln Laboratory.

Using ultrasonic waves and a salt bath, a research team has altered the surface of glass. The brand-new method may lead to glass made without the use of harsh chemicals for self-cleaning ...

Scientists developed new methods to quantify and understand the disordered atomic structure in glass, revealing structural regularities and advancing the knowledge of material phase-transitions and ...
