[et al.]. Oxford : Oxford University Press, 2011. 1 online resource (xiii, 450 p.) : ill. International series of monographs on physics ; 150 Includes bibliographical references. Most everyday solid materials, from plastics to cosmetic gels exist in a non-crystalline, amorphous form: they are glasses. Yet we are still seeking an explanation as to what glasses really are and to why they form. Here, leading experts present broad perspectives on one of the deepest mysteries of condensed matter physics. Description based on print version record. Glass. Colloids. Granular materials.
