In condensed matter physics and materials science, an amorphous solid is a solid that lacks the long-range order that is a characteristic of a crystal. The terms "glass" and "glassy solid" are sometim
Glass is a commonly encountered example of amorphous solids.
Amorphous metals have low toughness, but high strength

In physics, a state of matter or phase of matter is one of the distinct forms in which matter can exist. Four states of matter are observable in everyday life: solid, liquid, gas, and plasma.

Artificial plasma produced in air by a Jacob's Ladder. The extremely strong potential difference between the two rods ionize particles in the air, creating a plasma.
