Understanding the response of glasses to high pressure is of key importance for clarifying energy-dissipation and the origin of material damage during mechanical load. In the absence of shear bands or motile dislocations, pressure-induced deformation is governed by elastic and inelastic structural changes which lead to compaction of the glass network. Here, we report on a pressure-induced reconstructive amorphous-amorphous transition which was detected in sodium borosilicate glass by Raman and Brillouin scattering. The transition occurs through the formation of four-membered danburite-type rings of BO4 and SiO4-tetrahedra. We suggest that the inelastic pressure-resistance is governed by the Si-O-Si-backbone of the mixed borosilicate network. We further show that compaction is accompanied by increasing structural homogeneity and interpret this as a universal phenomenon in non-crystalline materials.

Hydrogels are promising scaffolds for tissue regeneration, and borosilicate glass particles have demonstrated potential in enhancing the biological behaviour of dental pulp cells. However, the specific morphological characteristics of dental lesions and the diverse requirements of dental tissues require biocompatible, bioactive, and shapeable scaffolds. This study aimed to evaluate the in vitro biological behaviour of human gingival fibroblasts (HGFs) in contact with an experimental aluminum-free borosilicate glass-functionalized hydrogel.

Electrospray thrusters are a promising electric micropropulsion technology which could be used to meet the propulsion needs of nanosatellites, or for fine attitude control of larger spacecraft. Multimodal propulsion is the integration of two or more propulsion modes into a system which utilizes a common propellant. Indeed, spacecraft mission simulations and models have shown that this type of multimode propulsion capacity is exciting because of the flexibility and adaptability it provides mission designers and planners.

Tumor therapy has advanced significantly in recent years, but tumor cells can still evade and survive the treatment through various mechanisms. Notably, tumor cells use autophagy to sustain viability by removing impaired mitochondria and clearing excess reactive oxygen species (ROS). In this study, the aim is to amplify intracellular oxidative stress by inhibiting mitochondrial autophagic flux.

We discuss the prospects for accurate B magic-angle-spinning (MAS) nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectral deconvolutions for reaching beyond the readily extracted borate speciations offered by the integrated resonances of the coexisting B and B species of the respective BO and BO network groups in borosilicate (BS) glasses. We critically review hitherto proposed B and B NMR-peak assignments relating to their neighboring Si, B and B species, as quantified by MAS NMR spectral deconvolution. Guidance to these resonance assignments was offered from double-quantum-single-quantum (2Q-1Q) B MAS NMR experiments that inform about the B-O-B network linkages.
