Glass is a non-crystalline amorphous solid that is often transparent and has widespread practical, technological, and decorative usage in, for example, window panes, tableware, and optoelectronics.

The waves at the bottom of old window panes are a reminder that solid glass behaves like a very slow-moving liquid. Now a new study challenges the notion that the atomic structure of glass is ...

Researchers explain the distinctive low-temperature thermal properties of glasses using molecular dynamics simulations. By focusing on string-like defects, they were able to create a unified ...

Amorphous materials, broadly defined as condensed matter without crystalline structures, have become subjects of increasing interest in the twenty-first century. Philip W. Anderson once observed that ...

'Amorphous ice' forms when water is rapidly cooled to form a disordered glass-like solid rather than the common form of ice, which is crystalline. Now researchers have found a surprising degree of ...
