Instead, its molecules are in a chaotic mismatch, more like glass — a state known as amorphous. Other types of amorphous ice have been made before, but they've been either much less dense or far ...

In amorphous systems such as glasses, or a random network of neuronal connections, topological defects were observed for the first time in numerical simulations only in 2021, thanks to computer ...

Their work appears in ... The amorphous state of matter is the most abundant form of visible matter in the universe, and includes all structurally disordered systems, such as biological cells or ...

Materials with self-adaptive mechanical responses have long been sought after in material science. Using computer simulations, researchers at the Tata Institute of Fundamental Research (TIFR), ...

Scientists at EPFL and AstraZeneca have developed a method to map the atomic-level structure of amorphous drugs, demonstrated ...

First, the material (drug, excipient, or delivery system) may be deliberately manufactured in an amorphous state. Second, the material may be inherently amorphous or partially amorphous at a ...

At the solid-state, we can sometimes find and try to stabilize amorphous material. Similar to polymorphs, we find that amorphous materials can take on several modifications; this is called ...

It is an amorphous solid—a state somewhere between those two states of matter. And yet glass's liquidlike properties are not enough to explain the thicker-bottomed windows, because glass atoms ...
