Researchers at The University of Tokyo have developed a new method for understanding the structure organization of disordered materials fundamentally different from previous geometric approaches of ordered crystals. This research may be useful when designing glasses and other industrials systems that high stability are desirable.

Jam-packed: a novel microscopic approach to amorphous solids

Researchers at The University of Tokyo discover how to describe disordered collections of objects using unique mathematics different from ordered crystals. This work may have important applications in the industry in favor of highly stable materials.
