      Although it looks solid, glass is actually a “jammed” state of matter, according to researchers 
      at the University of Bristol, U.K. and elsewhere. Unlike ordinary solids, whose molecules crystallize into stable grid-like arrangements, atoms in a glass can’t reach their destination because the route is blocked by their neighbors. Thus glass never quite becomes a “proper” solid.</DIV></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.world-science.net/othernews/080621_glass.htm"><div align="center"><img src="http://content8.clipmarks.com/blog_cache/www.world-science.net/img/F6FD6C4A-0E48-4A4A-9C26-8CAA77FE2AAE" alt="" /></div></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.world-science.net/othernews/080621_glass.htm"><DIV>
      For over 50 years scientists have tried to understand just what glass is. Work so far has focused on trying to understand the traffic jam. But the university’s Paddy Royall, with colleagues in Australia and Japan, found that the problem really lies with the destination, not with the jam.</DIV></blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/037A170C-C234-4C0E-9A21-2BEBA394D4C4/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content9.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
