After developing a method based on NMR experiments and computational simulations, a team of researchers from CeRTEV (S\u00e3o Carlos, SP, Brazil) was able to carry out the first observation of the changes that occur in the structure of a glass during relaxation and nucleation, two processes that occur at the nanoscale in all glasses and that impact their properties. The advances are crucial for the development of high-performance glass-ceramics. The work was reported in Acta Materialia<\/i>. Know more.<\/b><\/a><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

Prof. Aldo Craievich (USP) passed away on April 24 at the age of 84. Craievich was one of the founding members of B-MRS and made great contributions to our community. He was a pioneer in glass research in Brazil and one of the protagonists in the history of the National Synchrotron Lab. Also, he dedicated himself to training synchrotron light users and was instrumental in setting up several X-ray characterization laboratories.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

– Using computer simulations and tunneling microscopy, scientists studied catalysis processes on the atomic scale and concluded that, contrary to the established assumption, the bonds between metal atoms of catalysts do not remain intact during the reactions they catalyze. This new understanding could help reduce the enormous amounts of energy involved in catalysis processes widely used in industry. (Science)<\/i> Know more<\/b><\/a><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
