For decades researchers have been exploring how to store data in glass because of its potential to hold information for a long time — eons — without applying power. A special type of glass that ...
A glass capable of storing information in three dimensions, erasing it, and rewriting it indefinitely, simply by using light.
We learn in school that matter comes in three states: solid, liquid and gas. A bored and clever student (we've all met one) then sometimes asks whether glass is a solid or a liquid. The student has a ...
Small concentrations of active molecules trigger a liquid transition in supercooled water even at low temperatures ...
When a liquid is cooled rapidly, it gains viscosity and eventually becomes a rigid solid glass. The point at which it does so is known as the glass transition. A collaborative research group has ...

Changes in a liquid as it becomes a glass are related to repulsion between atoms as they are crowded together. Although scientists have long believed the poorly understood glass transition must have ...
