A team has pioneered a new technique for synthesizing amorphous nanosheets by employing solid-state surfactants. These ultra-thin amorphous nanosheets can now be produced from various kinds of metal ...

The more amorphous a metal becomes, the better its electrochemical properties in a battery. However, the battery industry's poster child, lithium, appears mainly in crystalline form – leading to a ...

The researchers published their findings in Nature Communications ("Stöber method to amorphous metal-organic frameworks and coordination polymers"). The Stöber method, traditionally used for creating ...

Crystalline alloys used in motors today lose some energy through heat, but glass-like metals could solve this engineering ...

Magnetic semiconductors (MSs) hold a very special position in the field of spintronics because they allow effective manipulation of both charge and spin. This feature is important in devices combining ...

Single-element amorphous metals, or metallic glass, are considered an ideal model systems for studying atomic-scale amorphous and glass formation. Moreover, their unique physical and chemical ...

Researchers have now demonstrated the ability to create amorphous metal, or metallic glass, alloys using 3-D printing technology, opening the door to a variety of applications -- such as more ...

Technology companies Heraeus Amloy and Trumpf have started working together on the 3D printing of amorphous metals, also known as metallic glasses. Their aim is to establish the printing of amorphous ...
