At the molecular level, glass looks like a liquid. But an artificial neural network has picked up on hidden structure in its molecules that may explain why glass is rigid like a solid. The post Why Is Glass Rigid? Signs of Its Secret Structure Emerge. first appeared on Quanta Magazine

Glass is anything that’s rigid like a crystal, yet made of disordered molecules like a liquid. To understand why it exists, researchers are attempting to create the perfect, still-hypothetical “ideal glass.” The post Ideal Glass Would Explain Why Glass Exists at All first appeared on Quanta Magazine

In 1995 a group of distinguished scientists were asked by Science magazine about outstanding problems that should receive attention in the following decade. The answers are compiled here , and ironically entitled, "Through a glass lightly". Phil Anderson said: The deepest and most interesting unsolved problem in solid state theory is probably the theory of the nature of glass and the glass transi…

As part of our series of video abstracts, we spoke to Owens Corning researcher Manoj K.
