Physics:Superglass

From HandWiki
Short description: Phase of matter

A superglass is a phase of matter which is characterized by superfluidity and a frozen amorphous structure at the same time.[1]

J.C. Séamus Davis theorised that frozen helium-4 (at 0.2 K and 50 atm) may be a superglass.[1][2][3]
