Open AccessImpact of the aqueous corrosion induced alteration layer on mechanical properties of pharmaceutical glasses
It is known that network modifying ions (such as alkali or alkaline earth ions) make glasses susceptible to aqueous corrosion, resulting in the alteration of their surface layers. However, the effect of the al...

Open AccessUltrastrong conductive in situ composite composed of nanodiamond incoherently embedded in disordered multilayer graphene
Traditional ceramics or metals cannot simultaneously achieve ultrahigh strength and high electrical conductivity. The elemental carbon can form a variety of allotropes with entirely different physical properti...

Material functionalities from molecular rigidity: Maxwell’s modern legacy
We provide an overview of the field of rigidity theory applied at the atomic scale. This theoretical approach, initially designed for macroscopic structures such as bridges or buildings, has gained renewed int...

Oriented calcium metaphosphate glass-ceramics
Highly oriented calcium metaphosphate glass-ceramics were obtained directly from the corresponding melt. On the interface between the Ca(PO3)2 melt and an Al2O3 rod, the nucleation could easily be induced. The de...
