(Nanowerk Spotlight) Why does silicon, which usually shatters catastrophically like glass when fractured, suddenly change and show ductile fracture like metals when the temperature is increased? As ...
The discovery of quasicrystals three decades ago unveiled a class of matter that exhibits long-range order but lacks translational periodicity. Owing to their unique structures, quasicrystals possess ...
Plastic fantastic? Quasicrystal deformations and bending observed. When shrunk to the nanoscale, quasicrystals become plastic. That is the finding of an international team of researchers, which says ...
Glass doesn’t have to be brittle. Glass doesn’t have to be brittle, as new research explains. The key is temperature. In a paper published online Feb. 26 in the journal Nature Communications, a Yale ...
