Since amorphous solids' structures appear similar to liquids, they are sometimes called supercooled liquids. This similarity is also why the myth developed that glass is actually a slowly-moving liquid. Additionally, unlike a crystalline solid, an amorphous solid does not immediately liquefy when expos...
Amorphous solids are basically the exact opposite of crystalline solids. While an amorphous solid may display some finite order in terms of the arrangement of its atoms, ions, and molecules, it will clearly lack the long-range ordered structure that a crystalline solid exhibits. The arrangement of...
He continues to explain, in chapter V, that true solids, which are also permanent, are crystals. The stability of molecules and crystals is due to the same principles and a molecule might be called "the germ of a solid." On the other hand an amorphous solid, without crystalline structure...
Powder solids are typically confusing to classify to a layman because they do not have the typical appearance of a solid, which is a substance that has a definite shape and is sturdy. Still, powder solids do not behave like a liq...
Solid tantalum capacitors are made by pressing tantalum powder into an anode body and sintering it in a high-temperature furnace. The dielectric is energized by forming a porous amorphous Ta2O5 dielectric film by immersing the anode body in acid. MnO2 is formed by high-temperature breakdown and...
In contrast, the differential partitioning of Sr, Ba and Ca between the solution and the solids as observed in cyanobacteria could not be mimicked in vitro. This provides keys to a better understanding of biological processes involved in the formation of intracellular carbonates by some ...
The project prEN ISO 16094 aims to define general principles for microplastics analytics and to provide guidance on the design of sampling techniques for the sampling of plastics in waters with low contents of total suspended solids. In the scope of this project are waters from different sources,...

The photovoltaic characteristics of amorphous hydrogenated silicon, a product of its electronic conduction, also form the cornerstone of solar cell technology.12 Propelled by ongoing research, the applications of glass with unique electrical properties are continually expanding. Such advancements underscore th...
Atomic force microscopy was used to show that HAS solids adopt discrete morphologies with HASA forming flat (1–2 nm) rectangular (up to 170 nm in length) particles while HASB are also flat (1–2 nm) but discoid (up to 40 nm in diameter) particles8. Present understanding of ...
