Byline: ANI Washington, November 5 (ANI): Harvard University's materials scientists have come up with what they believe is a new and better way to model the formation of glasses, a type of amorphous solid that includes common window glass.
Coverage includes: water-compatible amorphous solids (physical, chemical behaviour), low water content systems (water as plasticiser); applications in food and pharmaceutical sciences and industries (processing and stability) along with state-of-the-art technology in food and pharmaceutical systems.
This material, called amorphous solid water (ASW), appeals to scientists interested in liquids because the molecules in it move extremely slowly, which makes them relatively easy to examine.
