Ultrastable glasses (mostly prepared from the vapor phase under optimized deposition
conditions) represent a unique class of materials with low enthalpies and high kinetic …

Two challenging scientific disciplines, ie, the physics of glasses [Anderson, Science 267,
1615 (1995); Kennedy and Norman, Science 309, 75 (2005)] and interface chemistry …

Over the past three decades, studies have indicated a mobile surface layer with steep
gradients on glass surfaces. Among various glasses, polymers are unique because …

The description of kinetics of physical aging, namely the slow evolution of a glass
thermodynamic state toward equilibrium, generally relies on the exclusive role of the main α …

The Kauzmann paradox and associated Kauzmann temperature are two of the most widely
debated topics in glass science over the past eighty years. Both conceptualized by Walter …

Reducing the sample size can profoundly impact properties of bulk metallic glasses. Here,
we systematically reduce the length scale of Au and Pt-based metallic glasses and study …

Physical aging is a long-lasting research hot spot in the glass community, yet its long-term
effects remain unclear because of the limited experimental time. In this study, we discover …

This work focuses on the study of the physical aging of a selenium glass by differential
scanning calorimetry (DSC) and fast scanning calorimetry (FSC). Aged samples of 30 and …

Amorphous solid dispersions (ASDs) utilize the kinetic stability of the amorphous state to
stabilize drug molecules within a glassy polymer matrix. Therefore, understanding the glassy …

The configurational entropy of supercooled liquids extrapolates to zero at the Kauzmann
temperature, causing a crisis called the Kauzmann paradox. Here, using a class of …
