text: Is Glass a Liquid or a Solid?
text: Glass, however, is actually neither a liquid—supercooled or otherwise—nor a solid.
text: Is Glass a Liquid?
text: Why Would Glass Be a Liquid?
text: Why Would Glass Be a Liquid?
text: Glass Is a Liquid, and Naturally Flows, Right?
text: Glass is sometimes considered to be a liquid due to its lack of a first-order phase transition where certain thermodynamic variables such as volume, entropy and enthalpy are discontinuous through the glass transition range.
text: The reason people thought glass might be a liquid was because old glass windows were thicker at the bottom than at the top.
text: If you want to get technical, glass can be a liquid when it is heated until it is melted.
text: So, for the glass to be a liquid it would need to be able to change its shape or flow.
text: Probably the idea that glass is a liquid came from observing old window glass, which is thicker at the bottom than at the top.
text: Some once thought this was because glass is a liquid that flows down slowly over the centuries.
text: Is glass a solid or a liquid?
text: One of the questions raised by Zanotto during the lecture was precisely whether glass is a solid or a liquid.
text: This is evidence, say tour guides, Internet rumors and even high school chemistry teachers, that glass is actually a liquid.
text: Probably the idea that glass is a liquid came from observing old window glass, which is thicker at the bottom than at the top.
text: One of the most persistent popular and urban legend-associated physics questions is whether glass is a liquid or a solid.
text: The notion that glass is a liquid comes from two sources: that old church windows are thicker at the bottom than the top, and an erroneous reading of an old physics book by German physicist Gustav Tammann (1861-1938), which referred to it as a "frozen supercooled liquid.
text: That happens, we were told, because glass is a liquid at room temperature, and over the centuries, it slowly flowed downward.
text: Some once thought this was because glass is a liquid that flows down slowly over the centuries.
text: : volcanoes and impact craters can produce glass Solid: yes (For more on the debate about whether glass is a solid or a liquid, see the
text: yes (For more on the debate about whether glass is a solid or a liquid, see the box back on the main course page)
text: It is sometimes said that glass in very old churches is thicker at the bottom than at the top because glass is a liquid, and so over several centuries it has flowed towards the bottom.
text: Glass is actually a liquid.
text: In a nutshell, glass is neither a solid or a liquid -- it's an amorphous solid.
text: In terms of molecular dynamics and thermodynamics it is possible to justify various different views that it is a highly viscous liquid, an amorphous solid, or simply that glass is another state of matter that is neither liquid nor solid.
text: Is the glass solid or liquids?
text: Being neither a liquid nor a solid, but sharing the qualities of both, glass is its own state of matter.
text: In fact, glass is neither a liquid nor a solid, but a state in between known as an amorphous solid.
text: It is sometimes said that glass is therefore neither a liquid nor a solid.
