The Nature of Glass Remains Anything but Clear

Quoted: Mark D. Ediger, a professor of chemistry at the University of Wisconsin, Madison, has found a way to make thin films of glass with the more stable structure of a glass that has been â??agedâ? for at least 10,000 years. He hopes the films will help test Dr. Wolynesâ??s theory and point to what really happens as glass approaches its ideal state, since no one expects the third law of thermodynamics to fall away.
