Materials Scientists Find Better Model For Glass Creation https://materialscience-nano.conferenceseries.com/events-list/advanced-ceramics-and-composite-materials "A glass is lasting, yet just finished a specific time scale. It's a fluid that simply quit moving, quit streaming," said David Weitz, Mallinckrodt Professor of Physics and Applied Physics in Harvard's School of Engineering and Applied Sciences (SEAS) and the Department of Physics.  Harvard materials researchers have thought of what they accept is another approach to demonstrate the arrangement of glasses, a sort of nebulous strong that incorporates basic window glass.  Glasses shape through the procedure of vitrification, in which a glass-framing fluid cools and gradually turns into a strong whose atoms, however they've quit moving, are not for all time bolted into a gem structure. Rather, they're more similar to a fluid that has only quit streaming, however they can keep on mo

Silk fibers could be high-tech 'natural metamaterials' https://materialscience-nano.conferenceseries.com/ New research has demonstrated how the nano-architecture of a silkworm's fiber causes "Anderson localization of light," a discovery that could lead to various innovations and a better understanding of light transport and heat transfer. The discovery also could help create synthetic materials and structures that realize the phenomenon, named after Nobel laureate Philip Anderson, whose theory describes how electrons can be brought to a complete halt in materials due to their "scattering and defects." The new findings relate not to electrons, but to light transport. Researchers demonstrated how the nano-architecture of the silk fibers is capable of light "confinement," a trait that could provide a range of technological applications including innovations that harness light for new types of medical therapies and biosensing.
