A new computational framework maps 3D atomic positions in amorphous materials, achieving full accuracy for silica using ...
Researchers at the California NanoSystems Institute at UCLA published a step-by-step framework for determining the ...
Researchers explain the dissolution behavior of silica glasses manufactured by different processes, a natural biologically produced silica and a synthetic, dispersed or colloidal silica. Their ...
(Nanowerk Spotlight) Researchers in Japan have synthesized novel silica fibers. Unlike any previously reported one-dimensional silica nano- and microstructures, the novel fibers display a triangular ...
On July 3, 2019, the European Commission (EC) Scientific Committee on Consumer Safety (SCCS) published its final opinion on the solubility of synthetic amorphous silica (SAS). The EC asked whether ...
Whereas structural and vibrational properties of crystalline materials can be measured in great detail by various techniques, properties of amorphous materials are much harder to resolve. For this and ...
Construction workers being diagnosed with silicosis in their 30s is unacceptable, and something needs to change, says ...
Amorphous fused silica shows promise as a direct replacement for ground quartz and other extending fillers. Fused silica is almost completely amorphous and readily mixes into rubber compounds. The ...
Respiratory manifestations among 41 workers exposed to amorphous silica dust were compared with a control group comprising 90 workers of equivalent socioeconomic state in the same plant. Flow volumes ...
On March 15, 2019, the European Commission’s (EC) Scientific Committee on Consumer Safety (SCCS) published its preliminary opinion on the solubility of synthetic amorphous silica (SAS). The EC asked ...
