Changes in a liquid as it becomes a glass are related to repulsion between atoms as they are crowded together. Although scientists have long believed the poorly understood glass transition must have ...
WASHINGTON, D.C., March 21, 2017 -- Polymers are used for myriad applications today, and perhaps the most important property that dictates which polymer is chosen for a given application is its "glass ...
Liquid–liquid transition is an intriguing phenomenon in which a liquid transforms into another liquid via the first-order transition. For molecular liquids, however, it always takes place in a ...
Synchrotron-generated x-rays can be used to probe what happens when liquids solidify into disordered solids, a process that has puzzled physicists for decades ...
