"Basically worthless unless it's in an airtight container." Man sparks debate after discovering unconventional method for ...

Molecular dynamics simulations using Reactive Force Field (ReaxFF) are employed to study the silica glass chemical mechanical polishing (CMP) process in aqueous H2O2. The material removal mechanisms ...

A novel nanoparticle-based electrochemical immunoassay of carbohydrate antigen 125 (CA125) as a model was designed to couple with a microfluidic strategy using anti-CA125-functionalized magnetic beads ...

Matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization-time-of-flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF MS) is a promising tool for large-scale screening of body fluids for the early detection of human diseases.

A flexible space solar cell coverglass replacement called Pseudomorphic Glass (PMG) has been under investigation in hopes of providing a robust, high transmissivity replacement for conventional ...

It sounds like something out of a fantasy film—lightning hits the beach and leaves behind a sculpture made of glass. […] ...

In a tent outside the Nøstetangen Glass Museum in Hokksund, Eastern Norway, Lise Nilsen carefully arranges her handmade bead necklaces on a table. She is taking part in the opening of a new exhibition ...

Apollo astronauts discovered orange and black glass beads on the Moon's surface, a surprising find among the gray landscapes. The beads, measuring less than a millimeter (0.04 inches), were formed 3.3 ...

Tiny grains, about as small as a pencil tip, are left over from giant volcanic eruptions more than 3.5 billion years ago. Those raindrop-shaped beads were made from molten droplets that spouted during ...

Astronauts have discovered tiny glass beads, called “Moon beads,” in lunar soil brought back by the Apollo 17 mission. These beads are valuable to scientists to learn more about the Moon’s past.

The beads formed some 3.3 to 3.6 billion years ago during volcanic eruptions on the surface of the then, young satellite. The story of these glass beads begins with explosive volcanic activity ...
