Glass
Glass is a “supercooled liquid” usually produced when the viscous molten material cools very rapidly to below its glass transition temperature, without sufficient time for a regular crystal lattice to form.
Glass is manufactured from silica sand (72%), soda (14%), lime (10%), and various oxides (4%), fused in a furnace at around 1500°C then (in the most frequently used process) flowed continuously onto molten tin where it solidifies.
