I've always been fascinated by how materials break down, especially glasses and polymers that don't have a regular crystal ...

Crystals—from sugar and table salt to snowflakes and diamonds—don’t always grow in a straightforward way. New York University researchers have captured this journey from amorphous blob to ...

Crystal formation follows a two-step process: messy, shapeless clumps of particles, or amorphous blobs, first come together before finally organizing themselves into the beautiful, ordered ...

These methods discourage large, disruptive crystals and encourage tiny crystals or glassy amorphous ice. And of course, amorphous ice doesn't just exist in the lab.

This new Goldilocks version of amorphous ice is right in the middle, almost exactly matching liquid water's density, researchers explained in a new study published in the journal Science today ...

Future iPhones, iPods, and other Apple-flavored gadgets may be made out of "amorphous" metal alloys thanks to a deal that Apple has made with Liquidmetal Technologies.Liquidmetal revealed that it ...

Amorphous ices are not common on Earth, but they are the most abundant form of water in the universe. In the study, researchers at Princeton University and the City University of New York used ...

It turns out that amorphous urate crystals had been deposited in the man's cardiomyocytes, potentially causing a strong inflammatory reaction and cell death.

Amorphous ices are not found on Earth, but they could be prevalent in outer space, in comets, interstellar clouds and icy worlds like Europa, a moon of Jupiter. There is even a type of water that ...
