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 ...

'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 ...

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?

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...
