Mystery of avalanche-like change in glass solved?
Mystery of avalanche-like change in glass solved?

Researchers at the Institute of Industrial Science, The University of Tokyo have uncovered the mechanism and structural origin behind "avalanches", where particles packed into a disordered "glassy" state suddenly undergo ordering. The finding may guide how detrimental structural change in glassy materials and drugs may be avoided.
