Scientists Revive Ancient Chemistry Trick To Engineer Next-Generation Glass

A centuries-old glassmaking strategy has helped researchers unlock new ways to engineer futuristic MOF glasses with promising applications in gas storage and advanced materials. Scientists have applied a centuries-old chemistry concept to improve a new class of glass made from metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), materials built from metal atoms linked by organic molecules. These glasses can [...]

Arctic Sculptures Uttakleiv’s Dragon's Eye

Ancient rocks and tidal pools frame a snow-draped mountain at Uttakleiv Beach. This is a wild, harsh coastline shaped by the storms that constantly batter Norway’s Lofoten Islands.

Perhaps the most famous feature of Uttakliev Beach is the Dragon’s Eye, a rock that sits at the base of an ancient hollow.

Finding the Dragon’s Eye on the day we visited was a bit of an adventure. The road to the end…

'Glass' motors may make for longer-running, higher-performing EVs and drones

When you think of glass, you probably picture something fragile and brittle, not a material built for high-stress electromechanical components. However, researchers at Germany's Saarland University are challenging that assumption, using a glass-like metal to significantly improve the efficiency of electric motors.
