TL;DR: A derivative analysis detected the existence of a pretransitional anomaly even if its weakness made a straightforward epsilon(T) fit impossible, which can be well portrayed by fluidlike equations, isomorphic to that applied in critical binary mixtures.

TL;DR: This work revisits whether previously proposed relationships between Poisson’s ratio and liquid fragility (m) and atomic packing density (Cg) hold for oxide glasses, and synthesized new oxide glasses within the zinc borate and aluminoborate families that are found to exhibit high Poisson's ratio values up to ~0.34.

TL;DR: In this paper, a new method was presented to determine the liquid-liquid critical locus of a binary liquid mixture (nitrobenzene/nhexane) under negative pressure, using experimental data obtained from measurements performed on positive pressures.

TL;DR: This study substitutes alkaline earth for alkali network-modifying species at fixed aluminoborate base glass composition and correlates it with changes in the structure, mechanical properties, and densification behavior, finding that the extent of volume densification scales linearly with the number of pressure-induced coordination number changes of B and Al.

TL;DR: In this paper, the results of isobaric and isothermal studies of dielectric relaxation in a vitrifying orientationally disordered crystal were discussed, and it was concluded that the decoupling of translational and orientational degrees of freedom may be the key mechanism responsible for the validity of the DSM description for glassy systems.
