Glass You Can Build With
The normal structure of metals is crystalline. Glass, on the other hand, is amorphous. But it's possible to make amorphous forms of metal, metallic glasses, which can be remarkably strong, having many properties equal to or better than their crystalline metal cousins. The catch is that bulk metallic glasses are highly susceptible to fatigue, a... view more... (2009-03-24)
Chemists look through glass to find secrets that are less clear
A new understanding of how glass is formed may assist with our understanding of everything from the design of golf club heads to the structure of the early universe. view more (2006-06-07)
Mystery of metallic glass is cracked by Johns Hopkins engineers
Using state-of-the-art lab techniques and powerful computer simulations, Johns Hopkins researchers have discovered how atoms pack themselves in unusual materials known as metallic glasses. view more (2006-01-27)
Solving the mysteries of metallic glass
Researchers at MIT have made significant progress in understanding a class of materials that has resisted analysis for decades. Their findings could lead to the rapid discovery of a variety of useful new kinds of glass made of metallic alloys with potentially significant mechanical, chemical and magnetic applications. view more (2008-12-23)
Kids think eyeglasses make other kids look smart
Young children tend to think that other kids with glasses look smarter than kids who don't wear glasses, according to a new study. Children between the ages of 6 and 10 who were surveyed for the study also thought that kids wearing glasses looked more honest than children who don't wear glasses. view more (2008-05-13)
Researchers find 400% Increase in Pulling Power if You Drop Glasses for Contact Lenses
There's more to the saying "men seldom make passes at girls who wear glasses" than meets the eye. Indeed, whether you're a man or a woman, wearing contact lenses on a night out could increase your chances of 'pulling' by as much as four times. This is one of the conclusions of a study carried out by University of Warwick psychology... view more... (2002-09-30)
Shape of glass influences how much alcohol is poured - and how much you will drink
When pouring liquor, even professional bartenders unintentionally pour 20 to 30 percent more into short, squat glasses than into tall, thin ones, according to a new Cornell University study. view more (2005-12-23)
Mythbusted -- people who wear glasses aren't geeks
Latest Australian research into myopia or shortsightedness reveals that people who wear glasses are not stereotypical geeks or nerds. view more (2008-03-26)
Over £4 million in injuries compensation awarded every year to victims of bar brawls
More than £4 million in criminal injuries compensation is awarded every year to victims of bar brawls, with glasses involved in more serious claims than bottles, shows research in Injury Prevention. Despite the increasing adoption of toughened glassware in the UK in licensed premises over the past decade, injuries from glasses and bottles... view more... (2003-03-17)
Materials scientists find better model for glass creation
Harvard materials scientists have come up with what they believe is a new way to model the formation of glasses, a type of amorphous solid that includes common window glass. view more (2009-11-05)
Hecates Tholus Volcano In 3D
Hecates Tholus volcano as seen by the High Resolution Stereo Camera (HRSC) on Mars Express during orbit 32 from an altitude of 275 km. The 3D image on the left requires stereoscopic (red/green) glasses to view. See: http://www.esa.int/SPECIALS/Mars_Express/SEMTXD2PGQD_0.html The colour image (with north at the top) shows the summit caldera of... view more... (2004-03-01)
Pure water without electricity
Many a visitor to Majorca - the island of choice for German and British vacationers - has made the bitter experience: The drinking water in some parts of the island is unbearably salty. Naturally, water treatment plant operators make a concerted effort to lower the salt and lime content of their water to acceptable levels by mixing in fresh water.... view more... (2002-07-22)
Theory predicts aging process in DVDs, plexiglas, other polymer glasses
Polymer glasses are versatile plastics widely used in applications ranging from aircraft windshields to DVDs. Researchers at the University of Illinois have developed a theory that predicts how these materials age. The theory also explains why motions at the molecular level can have macroscopic consequences. view more (2007-04-24)
Molecules in glass houses
Trapping biological molecules such as proteins and enzymes or even whole cells in rigid structures make them easier to use for a whole range of industrial and medical applications. But combining fragile biological molecules with tough materials is difficult to do without damaging the molecules and destroying their biological activity. As well as... view more... (2001-08-01)
Caltech scientists create titanium-based structural metallic-glass composites
Scientists from the California Institute of Technology (Caltech) have created a range of structural metallic-glass composites, based in titanium, that are lighter and less expensive than any the group had previously created, while still maintaining their toughness and ductility--the ability to be deformed without breaking. view more (2008-12-22)
New 'implanted contacts' designed to fix nearsightedness
UT Southwestern Medical Center ophthalmologists will be the first in the area to insert a new type of implanted lens to fix nearsightedness. view more (2006-02-28)
On the path to metallic hydrogen
Hydrogen, the most common element in the universe, is normally an insulating gas, but at high pressures it may turn into a superconductor. view more (2009-08-04)
Junior award for bronze structures
The German Society of Electroplating and Surface Technology (Deutsche Gesellschaft für Galvano- und Oberfl'¤chentechnik e.V., DGO,) has honoured Dipl.-Ing. Gabriele Goet with the DGO-Award 2002. The prize is awarded once a year for valuable scientific contributions in the fields of electroplating and surface technology. Gabriele Goet is... view more... (2002-11-28)
'Smart' sunglasses and goggles let users adjust shade and color
Imagine a single pair of glasses with lenses that can be transparent or dark, and in shades of yellow, green or purple, all on command. A new lens with chameleon powers promises to dramatically improve sunglasses' function. view more (2007-03-28)
Argonne scientists discover new class of glassy material
Scientists at U.S. Department of Energy's Argonne National Laboratory are dealing with an entirely new type of frustration, but it's not stressing them out. view more (2008-07-29)
