Exposure to microwave radiation generates atomic rearrangements in ceramic oxide, opening up new possibilities to use electromagnetic radiation to create bespoke materials. A recent study has revealed ...

New 'zentropy theory' based on quantum mechanics could unlock seemingly impossible electronic devices made with transparent ...

A new class of ceramics are not only transparent, but they can control light with exceptional efficiency—better than any theories predicted. Now, an advanced theory put forth by researcher at Penn ...

Ceramics also allow precise control over chemical composition and are easier to scale for mass production. The main obstacle, however, has always been transparency. Tiny internal defects normally ...

Laser lights are usually employed for the Raman spectroscopic analysis. The photons emitted by the laser light are absorbed by the sample, temporarily entering a non-stationary, exceedingly brief ...

“In this work, a comprehensive study on crystal structure and chemical bonding properties of CrB 2 was conducted using a combinatorial of theoretical calculations and experimental validations.

Glass is a material distinguished by its amorphous or non-crystalline microscopic structure. 1 Glasses are typically transparent to visible light, and many are valued for their chemical inertness and ...

Chemical analysis of qingbai wares aboard a Java Sea shipwreck identifies, with shocking precision, the origin of these ancient treasures. Ceramics recovered from a ship that sank in the Java Sea some ...
