Polystyrene has a glass transition temperature of about 100 C -- at room temperature it behaves like a solid material. But as its temperature approaches the glass transition temperature, polystyrene’s ...

Glass is fascinating because, even though it seems transparent and rigid, it is a complicated material. When a liquid becomes glass as it cools down, its behavior changes a lot, which gives it special ...

The National Science Foundation has awarded $1.65 million to a project led by Washington University in St. Louis physicist Ken Kelton to build an electrostatic levitation chamber that will be ...

WASHINGTON, D.C., March 21, 2017 -- Polymers are used for myriad applications today, and perhaps the most important property that dictates which polymer is chosen for a given application is its "glass ...
