Pushing the frontiers of frozen water: Computer simulations examine effects of shear on medium-density amorphous ice
Often characterized as glass, amorphous ice had long been known to appear in either a low-density amorphous (LDA) or high-density amorphous (HDA) state. A recent study demonstrated the existence ...

New 2D carbon material is tougher than graphene and resists cracking
regions embedded inside a disordered (amorphous) matrix. "We believe that this structure-based toughening strategy could work for other 2D materials, so this work opens up exciting possibilities ...

Scientists Develop Crack-Resistant 2D Material That Is 8 Times Tougher Than Graphene
Like graphene, MAC is also a 2D or single atom-thick material. But unlike graphene where atoms are arranged in an ordered ⎯ or crystalline ⎯ hexagonal lattice, MAC is a composite material that ...
