New Horizons in Glass Structure Prediction and Mechanics
Oxide glasses are one of the most important material families owing to their unique features, such as transparency, tunable properties, and formability. Emerging solutions to major global challenges related to energy, health, and electronics require new scientific breakthroughs in glass chemistry, mechanics, and processing. The realization of these goals is severely restricted by the main drawback of glass, namely high brittleness. Furthermore, new glass compositions are today developed through time-consuming trial-and-error experimentation due to their inherent non-equilibrium nature and disordered structure. A major task is therefore to initiate a paradigm shift within the field of glass…
