Amorphous shear bands are the main deformation and failure mode of super-hard boron carbide subjected to shock loading and high pressures at room temperature. Nevertheless, the formation mechanisms of ...

Researchers have developed a new type of cathode material for aqueous zinc-ion batteries by turning a crystalline MXene into an amorphous structure. This amorphous V2CTx cathode delivers high capacity ...

Even small amounts of amorphous materials can have a significant effect on the drug product. Are gravimetric vapour sorption techniques an effective solution to characterize amorphous materials?

'Amorphous ice' forms when water is rapidly cooled to form a disordered glass-like solid rather than the common form of ice, which is crystalline. Now researchers have found a surprising degree of ...

Polymeric amorphous solid dispersions are the most commonly used technology, but amorphous APIs remain inherently unstable. A large percentage of small-molecule APIs in development today suffer from ...

pv magazine: In “Solar Cells and Modules,” which was recently published by Springer, you dedicate a long chapter to amorphous silicon solar cells, which is very much still a niche technology reserved ...

Semicrystalline polymers are known to have a rigid amorphous fraction (RAF), which is present at the interface of the amorphous phase and crystal due to the immobilization of a polymer chain caused by ...
