Structural Relaxation & Nucleation
V.M. Fokin et al. have proved the effect of glass relaxation on crystal nucleation and shed more light on the alleged “breakdown” of the CNT at low temperatures. Good job! Read More

Biosilicate®/F18 glass scaffolds
This study evaluated the gene expression profile of the human adipose‐derived stem cells (hASCs) grown on the Biosilicate®/F18 glass scaffolds. It demonstrated that gene expression of hASCs grown on the scaffold surface showed significantly increased gene expression related to hASCs cultured with the ionic extract or the osteogenic medium, evidencing that the BioS‐2P/F18 scaffolds have …
iPhone 12 and its glass-ceramic shield
Corning’s new iPhone shied is made of a novel nano glass-ceramic. It consists of nanocrystals embedded within the glassy matrix. The crystals are smaller than the wavelength of light and refractive index-matched to the glass. That’s why the material is highly transparent, unlike other glass-ceramics. Furthermore, the crystals form interlocked structures that result in high …
