AI Summary

Researchers from TU Dortmund, Paderborn, Duisburg‑Essen and Oxford have devised a method to selectively alter the internal structure of certain glasses by adding an organic molecule during melting. The added molecule triggers a rearrangement of chemical bonds, lowering the processing temperature, preventing decomposition and enabling precise tuning of magnetic and optical properties. The approach applies to glasses derived from metal‑organic framework compounds and could benefit applications such as gas storage, batteries, optics and catalysis. The findings were published in Nature Materials.
