Precise monitoring of viscosity during the melting process is crucial for quality assurance in quartz glass production. In this project, a Sensor Technology TorqSense torque transducer (SGR541) was ...

Glass-forming systems have long fascinated researchers due to their unique transition from a fluid to a disordered solid state. Central to understanding these systems is the study of relaxation ...

Physically speaking, glass is a rather unusual material. Most solid materials are significantly ‘ordered’ with their constituent molecules or atoms in a regular arrangement, repeating patterns called ...

On a serendipitous occasion, listening to one professor speak about the remarkable effect of moderate electrical fields on lowering the sintering temperature of certain ceramic powders, another began ...

With damage tolerance rivalling advanced engineering alloys and thermoplastic forming capabilities analogous to conventional plastics, metallic glasses are emerging as a modern engineering material.

Tokyo - Glass is a familiar concept for most: a dependable substance known and used for thousands of years. However, there is more to glass than meets the eye. Glass is actually an amorphous material ...

Lowering the 'softening temperature' via electric field to form glass products into specific shapes offers a way to save significant amounts of energy vs. traditional forming approaches Washington, ...
