Glass as stable as crystal: Homogeneity leads to stability
Researchers have obtained new insights into the process of crystallization in glasses that can lead to a loss of transparency and mechanical strength. The researchers are the first to relate the coordinated atomic dynamics that lead to “devitrification” with a physical mechanism. This research may lead to improvements in the long term stability of industrial glass.
