Scientists Investigate Glowing Glass Droplets in Microgravity

It has the color of white gold, but it is hard like quartz glass and at the same time exhibits high elasticity. The smooth surface is free of crystalline structures and makes the material resistant to salts or acids. Individual pieces - for medical implants, for example - can be produced using 3D printing, while larger series - for watch cases, for example - are manufactured using injection molding.

First International Conference Focuses on the Science and Technology of Heterostructured Materials

Heterostructured materials (HSMs) are composed of heterogeneous zones that have large differences (=100%) in mechanical or physical properties. The interactive coupling among these heterogeneous zones can produce a synergistic effect beyond the rule of mixtures and properties inaccessible by homogeneous materials.
