Measurements of growing surface tension of amorphous–amorphous interfaces on approaching the colloidal glass transition
The existence of interfaces, separating distinct relaxing regions, has been predicted in glass theory, but a direct proof remains challenging due to the amorphous nature of glasses. Ganapathi et al. identify and measure the surface tension of these interfaces in bulk supercooled colloidal liquids....
