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 ...

The best way to understand glass is to understand how it is made. The first step to make glass requires heating up a mixture of minerals – often soda ash, limestone and quartz sand – until they melt ...
