image: Many substances with different chemical and physical properties, from diamonds to graphite, are made up of carbon atoms. Amorphous forms of solid carbon do not have a fixed crystal structure ...

Anything made out of plastic or glass is known as an amorphous material. Unlike many materials that freeze into crystalline solids, the atoms and molecules in amorphous materials never stack together ...

The researchers discovered that ball-milling produced an amorphous type of ice with a density comparable to liquid water and a condition that resembled water in solid form, unlike all other known ice.

The more amorphous a metal becomes, the better its electrochemical properties in a battery. However, the battery industry's poster child, lithium, appears mainly in crystalline form – leading to a ...
