Glassblowing is an art that science can’t live without. Chemists at the University of Maryland, Baltimore County, are fortunate enough to have glass-master Tony Baney among their support staff.

New research published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences reports the discovery of a new state of matter: liquid glass. The University of Konstanz chemists and physicists behind ...

Researchers have succeeded in creating a new class of hybrid glass materials that combine organic and inorganic components. To do this, the scientists use special material combinations in which ...

Display manufacturers can account for a certain level of relaxation in the glass, referring to the intermolecular rearrangement, if it’s known and reproducible. But fluctuations in this relaxation ...

It's probably the only brand of glass that you know by name. Join Timothy Gross as he explains the chemistry that made Corning the number one name in glass for portable electronics. Learn the basics ...

Catherine Jackson and Tracy Drier share the connection between chemistry and glassblowing. Catherine Jackson, Assistant Professor in the History of Science, and Tracy Drier, Master Glassblower in the ...

There are many things we humans have come to perfect, but don't yet fully understand. Take glass for example, scientists are still baffled by its existence. Silica glass, the form of glass we are most ...

There's a new battery chemistry in town, and it's supposed to have triple the energy density of lithium-ion cells. Share on Facebook (opens in a new window) Share on X (opens in a new window) Share on ...

You’d think that, in the 19 days since Hawaii’s Kilauea Volcano started erupting intensely, it would have chilled out by now. But nature is relentless: After cracking open 23 fissures, emitting ...

To achieve highly reproducible flow chemistry scale-up the control of mixing and temperature is essential, particularly for highly exothermic or fast, mixing-dependent reactions. Uniqsis expanding ...
