Overall Aspects of Non-Traditional Glasses: Synthesis Properties and Applications

Maria Clara Gonçalves, Helena Cristina de Sousa Pereira Menezes e Vasconcelos

Maison d'édition: Bentham Science Publishers

Synopsis

The structural properties of glass (non-crystalline structure with short-range order, continuous molecular network with no intergranular boundaries, isotropy, easy transition into a plastic state within a wide temperature range) allow a freedom of design that few materials offer. The addition of different materials to glass during the manufacturing process also confers different physical properties to the final product. There has been a proliferation of several types of glass over the last century with a wide array of applications such as in household ceramics, medicine, telecommunications, optical instruments and much more. 
This monograph guides readers through the science of glass. It starts by giving a general summary of glass properties and progresses to explain different glass types that have had a wide scientific and commercial impact in our lives. The glass types covered in this text include bioglass, fluoride glass, glass ceramics, photonic glass, solar glass and chalcogenide glass. 
This book serves as a textbook for ceramic and glass engineering courses and a concise reference on glass science for new researchers in the field of materials science.

Why We Haven't Found Aliens Yet...

John Harpoon

The question of why we have yet to discover extraterrestrial life remains one of the most profound mysteries in science. Despite decades of research, powerful telescopes, and countless efforts to detect signals from distant worlds, the universe has remained eerily silent. This paradox has led scientists and thinkers to develop a range of theories that attempt to explain why humanity appears to be alone in the cosmos.  
One of the most well-known ideas is the Fermi Paradox, which questions why, given the vastness of the universe and the high probability of other life forms, we have yet to encounter any signs of intelligent beings. The paradox highlights a troubling disconnect between the presumed abundance of alien civilizations and our complete lack of evidence for their existence. This has spurred a wave of speculation, ranging from the possibility that advanced civilizations self-destruct before they can communicate, to the unsettling notion that extraterrestrials deliberately avoid contact with less advanced species.   
Technological limitations may also play a role in this silence. While humanity has made significant strides in space exploration and communication technologies, our methods may be inadequate for detecting extraterrestrial signals. The vastness of space presents enormous challenges, with signals potentially becoming too weak or distorted to identify by the time they reach Earth. Furthermore, the technology alien civilizations may use to communicate could be entirely different from our own, rendering our search methods ineffective.
