"And understanding the structure around oxygen allows you to create better materials from it—better glass, better ceramics," said Grandinetti, who is also senior author of a study about the discovery ...

As is well known, solid oxygen appears in three modifications: α(below 23.5° K.); β(23.5°–43.5° K.); and γ(43.5° K. and melting point). In connexion with our investigations on the structure of ...

COLUMBUS, Ohio - When it comes to the fundamentals of making better materials - stronger-but-thinner glass for televisions or phone screens, for example - it almost always comes down to the building ...

Placing materials under extremely strong magnetic fields can give rise to unusual and fascinating physical phenomena or behavior. Specifically, studies show that under magnetic fields above 100 tesla ...

For more than a quarter century, scientists have been trying to determine the structure of a particular form of solid oxygen. X-ray analysis of the substance under high pressure now indicates that ...
