Experiments on colloidal gels shed light on how glass is formed
Some people window glass, which can behave like a liquid, sags under gravity.

Peer into its molecules, and glass is indiscernible from a liquid. So how can it be hard? And how does it get that way? For scientists, the puzzle persists.
Scientists have discovered that vibrations in glass may explain its strange mixture of behaviours as it changes between being a liquid and being a solid.
I discovered that the bottom of my bag was littered with powdered glass. Three of the little Prince Rupert’s drops I had so carefully made for a lecture at Oxford University had exploded.
