Facets of Glass Physics

From online pdf

I'm going to have to give this article a couple more read-throughs to get all the content in it.

The article - from Physics Today's January, 2016 issue - goes into peer-reviewed detail of the thermodynamics of glass's formation, methods of forming glasses, a defining glass as a specific state of matter. I know the science would blow the heads off of our Princeton matsci students and would likely push my AP chemistry students to their very edges of understanding, but I learned a lot in reading the article and will go back through it a few more times to get a little more out of it.

The full article is available as a pdf as published or without the fancy title page.
