Glass is fascinating because, even though it seems transparent and rigid, it is a complicated material. When a liquid becomes glass as it cools down, its behavior changes a lot, which gives it special ...

Cryopreservation by vitrification, or the stabilization of biological matter in the glassy state at low-temperature, promises to realize broad transformations of the global bio-cold chain, enabling ...

At the glass transition, a liquid transforms into an amorphous solid. Despite minimal structural rearrangements, this transition is accompanied by a dramatic dynamical slowdown. These features render ...
