Glass formation is the process by which certain materials transition from a liquid state to a solid state without crystallizing. This results in a non-crystalline or amorphous solid known as glass. Unlike crystalline solids, which have a well-defined and ordered structure, glass has a disordered arrangement of molecules, giving it unique physical properties. The glass formation process typically involves: 1. **Cooling a Liquid**: As a liquid is cooled, its viscosity increases.
