Among engineering materials, ceramics are indispensable in energy applications such as
batteries, capacitors, solar cells, smart glass, fuel cells and electrolyzers, nuclear power …

Glasses are materials that lack a crystalline microstructure and long‐range atomic order.
Instead, they feature heterogeneity and disorder on superstructural scales, which have …

Bioactive glasses were the first synthetic materials to show bonding to bone, and they are
successfully used for bone regeneration. They can degrade in the body at a rate matching …

Self‐healing materials are able to partially or completely heal damage inflicted on them, eg,
crack formation; it is anticipated that the original functionality can be restored. This article …

Amorphous solids, or glasses, are distinguished from crystalline solids by their lack of long-
range structural order. At the level of two-body structural correlations, glassformers show no …

Glasses have numerous applications because of their exceptional transparency and
stiffness; however, poor fracture, impact resistance, and mechanical reliability limit the range …

Highly mineralized natural materials such as teeth or mollusk shells boast unusual
combinations of stiffness, strength and toughness currently unmatched by engineering …

Supercooled liquids and glasses are important for current and developing technologies.
Here we provide perspective on recent progress in this field. The interpretation of …

Functional glasses play a critical role in current and developing technologies. These
materials have traditionally been designed empirically through trial-and-error …

The application of machine learning to predict materials' properties usually requires a large
number of consistent data for training. However, experimental datasets of high quality are …
