Glass is a fundamental material. Yet its atomic structure still baffles scientists to this day. Researchers have developed a new way to quantify ring shapes in chemically bonded networks of glass, ...

The intermediate range order of covalent glasses has been extensively studied in terms of the first sharp diffraction peak (FSDP), but the direct observation of the atomic density fluctuations that ...

Metal nanoclusters are small, crystalline structures that range up to two nm (2 x 10-9 m) in diameter and consist of a few to hundreds of metal atoms. Two thiol ligands, SPhpOMe and SPhoMe, produce ...
