We’ve all experienced the moment of panic when a glass slips from our hands, shattering into pieces upon hitting the ground. What if this common mishap could become a thing of the past?

Now, a new discovery by researchers at Tohoku University has offered insights into how glass resists breakage, potentially paving the way for highly durable, break-resistant materials. The breakthrough has wide ranging implications for glass-related industries.

Details of their findings are published in the journal Acta Materialia.

The ability to control and optimize electron behavior is crucial for realizing the potential of the best quantum materials.

Scientists at Loughborough University have made an exciting breakthrough in understanding how fine-tuning the behavior of electrons in quantum materials can unlock the next generation of advanced technologies.

Made from faux Martian and lunar soil, a new sulfur-based compound could also lead to faster construction on Earth.

A new technique employing monochromatic light improves the study of internal structures in materials affected by light scattering, enabling detailed observation of particle concentrations.

When driving through a bank of fog, car headlights are only moderately helpful since the light is scattered by the water particles suspended in the air. A similar situation occurs when trying to observe the inside of a drop of milk in water or the internal structure of an opal gem with white light. In these cases, multiple light scattering effects prevent examination of the interior.
