On the one year anniversary of Ted’s passing, we reflect on his legacy.

Milling is an effective top-down process for producing glass powders with particle sizes ranging from nanoscale to micron-size. This article provides a guide to some of the milling processes Mo-Sci uses to produce our range of specialty glass powders.

The list of terms used to describe various silica-based materials is long, confusing, and often misunderstood. In this article, we take a close look at the unique properties of quartz and fused silica, and clear up some of the confusion surrounding these terms.

Learn about the different types of sealing glass and the key parameters to consider when selecting a sealing glass for your application.

Offering tunable properties, t stability under thermal cycling, and resistance to chemical attack; sealing glasses are used to produce reliable hermetic seals between glass, metal, and ceramic components.

The process of annealing glass relieves internal stresses, which could otherwise leave it susceptible to cracking or shattering in response to minor mechanical or thermal shock.

Cold crucible induction melting offers many advantages over conventional techniques, including higher process temperatures, the ability to handle corrosive or reactive materials, and the production of ultra-pure semiconductors, oxides, and metals.

Certain types of glass offer excellent shielding against radiation, making them indispensable for applications in medicine and the nuclear industry.

Controlled pore glass (CPG) is uniquely suited to numerous filtering, sensing, and bioscience applications due to its structure and surface area. This article explores CPG manufacturing techniques and applications.
