Atomic structure dictates the performance of all materials systems; the characteristic of
disordered materials is the significance of spatial and temporal fluctuations on composition …

From telescope lenses to optical fibers and smartphone screens, glasses have been key
enablers in human history. Unlike crystalline materials, glasses can virtually feature any …

Metal-organic framework glasses feature unique thermal, structural, and chemical properties
compared to traditional metallic, organic, and oxide glasses. So far, there is a lack of …

Concrete is the most widely manufactured material in the world. Its binding phase, calcium–
silicate–hydrate (C–S–H), is responsible for its mechanical properties and has an atomic …

Borosilicate glasses are traditionally challenging to model using atomic scale simulations
due to the composition and thermal history dependence of the coordination state of B atoms …

Although molecular dynamics (MD) simulations are commonly used to predict the structure
and properties of glasses, they are intrinsically limited to short time scales, necessitating the …

Measuring the fracture toughness (KIc) of glasses still remains a difficult task, raising
experimental and theoretical problems as well. The available methods to estimate KIc are …

This paper implements reactive forcefield molecular dynamics (MD) simulation to evaluate
the mechanical performance of the fusion bond line formed between acrylonitrile butadiene …

Humans primarily interact with information technology through glass touch screens, and the
world would indeed be unrecognizable without glass. However, the low toughness of oxide …

Although organic–inorganic hybrid perovskites have been extensively investigated for
promising applications in energy-related devices, their mechanical properties, which restrict …
