Researchers Unravel Mystery of Physics-Connection Between Glass Formation and Crystallization

Glasses are amorphous solids, meaning that they are neither fluids nor crystals. They are one of the greatest puzzles of condensed matter physics. How glass is formed has been a matter of debate over years. Is it due to the freezing of thermal motion of some regions? Or is it due to the clusters or particles which do not fit to produce a crystal?
