Study reveals extraordinary glass properties

January 9, 2013 By Leave a Comment
Researchers at the University of Wisconsin-Madison and the University of Chicago have found new ways to produce ultrastable glasses, kin to the amber pictured here. Such glasses, which can now be created in the lab of UW-Madison chemistry Professor Mark Ediger using vapor deposition methods, have qualities that could be used to produce new classes of technologically vauable materials.

Computational and laboratory studies have confirmed that technologically valuable ultrastable glasses can be produced in days or hours.
