The 16th International Conference on the Physics of Non-Crystalline Solids was an international forum for discussion of the most recent developments in the physics of non-crystalline solids. The conference w the latest in the series of meetings started by Prof. V D Fréchette with the first conference, held in Alfred, USA, in 1958.
Glass is a scientifically fascinating material, and even its fundamental nature is one of the major unsolved problems in physics. And just as significantly, glasses, glass ceramics and sol-gel derived materials are enormously important for their practical applications. The PNCS16 conference will provide a forum where scientists from all over the world can meet together to present and discuss all of the latest developments in the scientific study of non-crystalline solids.
Delegates were warmly welcomed to PNCS16 in Canterbury in 2022 Alex Hannon and Gavin Mountjoy, Joint Conference Chairs, Stuart Hakes, President of the Society of Glass Technology.
