Amorphous Silicon Carbide
Like diamond, graphene and other exotic materials, amorphous silicon carbide (a-SiC) is an exceptionally strong material – however unlike its crystalline counterparts it does not exhibit long range order in its atomic arrangement. This anomaly helps explain how this material manages to achieve such remarkable tensile strength; Professor Norte estimates that up to 10 medium-sized […]
