The crystal–liquid–glass phase transition of coordination polymers (CPs) and metal–organic
frameworks (MOFs) offers attractive opportunities as a new class of amorphous materials …

The field of metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) has been incorrectly believed to be purely
crystalline. However, non-crystalline MOFs (amorphous MOFs, MOF liquids, and MOF …

Biomolecule-based non-covalent glasses are biocompatible and biodegradable, and offer a
sustainable alternative to conventional glass. Cyclic peptides (CPs) can serve as promising …

Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) is a powerful tool to address some of the most
challenging issues in glass science and technology, such as the nonequilibrium nature of …

Scintillators are critical in medical imaging, non‐destructive security screening, and space
exploration applications. However, it still remains a challenge to achieve large‐area and …

Complex materials are composed of basic units which invariably interact with anharmonic
potentials. It is well known that the dynamics of systems with anharmonic interaction are …

How are water's material properties encoded within the structure of the water molecule? This
is pertinent to understanding Earth's living systems, its materials, its geochemistry and …

Bulk metallic glass (BMG) provides plentiful precise knowledge of fundamental parameters
of elastic moduli, which offer a benchmark reference point for understanding and …

Water is the most abundant liquid on earth and also the substance with the largest number
of anomalies in its properties. It is a prerequisite for life and as such a most important subject …

Glass-forming ability (GFA) is the ability of a liquid to avoid crystallization during cooling.
Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are a new class of glass formers (1–3), with hitherto …
