Robocasting of Bioactive Glass
Research by Prof. Del Day, Prof. Len Rahaman and Prof. Dick Brow has targeted the development of bioactive glasses and bioceramics to repair bone, heal soft tissue wounds and eradicate infection. A challenge has been to develop bioactive glass scaffolds with the requisite mechanical reliability and microstructure to heal large defects in structural bone. Research …

Structural Relaxation & Nucleation
V.M. Fokin et al. have proved the effect of glass relaxation on crystal nucleation and shed more light on the alleged “breakdown” of the CNT at low temperatures. Good job! Read More
Astronomy’s go-to glass-ceramic
From almost 93 million miles away, our sun looks like a smooth yellow orb. But when looked at up close using powerful telescopes (ELS) which its mirrors are made of Zerodur glass-ceramics (Schott AG), you realize the sun is a very lively place full of turbulent gas, magnetic storms, and thermonuclear reactions—which, taken together, look …
Biosilicate®/F18 glass scaffolds
This study evaluated the gene expression profile of the human adipose‐derived stem cells (hASCs) grown on the Biosilicate®/F18 glass scaffolds. It demonstrated that gene expression of hASCs grown on the scaffold surface showed significantly increased gene expression related to hASCs cultured with the ionic extract or the osteogenic medium, evidencing that the BioS‐2P/F18 scaffolds have …
