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 ...

Tokyo, Japan - Glass is such a common, everyday material that you probably don't think about it much. It may surprise you to learn that researchers today still don't understand how glass forms.
