Glassmakers commonly use additives such as boron oxide to tweak these properties by changing the atomic structure of glass. Now researchers have for the first time captured atoms in borosilicate ...

Now there's Fusion5—an entirely different borosilicate glass using ... Lacking this property or a rigid crystalline structure, the molecules in most glass simply separate, cracking or shattering ...

Pyrex, which originally was always borosilicate glass, solved this problem by adding boron to the silica (quartz), the main ingredient in all glass. Boron changes the atomic structure of glass so ...

and the paracrystalline structure on the right. Aluminosilicate, which contains silicon, aluminum, boron and oxygen, is a type of oxide glass. Oxide glasses are a group to which borosilicate and ...

Borosilicate glass powder was melted at 1100 ºC for 1 h by capsule ... introduced in the molten glass and argon molecules were dissolved in the glass network structure during HIPing process. By the ...

Pyrex glassware, which came out in 1915 and was long marketed as "icebox to oven" cookware that did not expand or compress when exposed to high heat or low temperatures, is no longer made of that ...

Now researchers at the University of California, Davis, have for the first time captured atoms in borosilicate glass flipping from one structure to another as it is placed under high pressure.

Now there's Fusion5—an entirely different borosilicate glass using boric oxide ... their liquid state too quickly to form a crystalline structure of the type that defines most other solids.
