The glass transition represents a remarkable transformation whereby a supercooled liquid becomes an amorphous, non-crystalline solid. Unlike standard phase transitions, this process involves a ...

Materials with self-adaptive mechanical responses have long been sought after in material science. Using computer simulations, researchers at the Tata Institute of Fundamental Research (TIFR), ...
