Physically speaking, glass is a rather unusual material. Most solid materials are significantly ‘ordered’ with their constituent molecules or atoms in a regular arrangement, repeating patterns called ...

The glass transition represents a remarkable transformation whereby a supercooled liquid becomes an amorphous, non-crystalline solid. Unlike standard phase transitions, this process involves a ...

Researchers have found that attractive and repulsive interactions between particles are both essential to form structural order that controls the dynamics of glass-forming liquids. This knowledge will ...
