LondonTheorist Corentin Laudicina reports particle clusters that stop growing at limited size.
Glass remains an open physics problem, and nobody agrees what halts a cooling liquid.
Most liquids crystallise when cooled, but glass keeps a liquid’s disorder while stiffening into a solid.
Laudicina’s clusters offer one candidate mechanism, not a settled answer.
