India, Sept. 2 -- The Government of India has issued a release:
Scientists have unveiled a way to make jammed systems flow momentarily by giving them temperature shocks, wiping out memory imprints in them. This could have far-reaching implications in areas such as drug delivery.
Materials such as glass exhibit mechanical properties akin to those of solids though their structural characteristics resemble those of liquids. They also retain memory imprints. Scientists are trying to find ways to erase the memory imprints and convert glass to liquid form so that its structure can be controlled effectively.
Researchers from the Raman Research Institute (RRI), an autonomous institute of the Department of Science and Technology (DST) explored wa...
