Figure 1. Distribution of atomic rings extracted from TEM images: Smaller (red dots) atomic rings are dominant in Ge25 while Ge300 contains a higher proportion of larger (blue dots) atomic rings. 1.

(Nanowerk News) Glass, rubber and plastics all belong to a class of matter called amorphous solids. And in spite of how common they are in our everyday lives, amorphous solids have long posed a ...

Nanometer-scale analytical and structural characterization of different materials has gained significant attention in recent years. TEM is considered suitable for nanometer scale characterization as ...

The amorphous metal ("liquid glass") technology is fascinating, but the route to commercial success has been daunting since its invention in 1993 by Caltech professor William Johnson. He cofounded ...
