A laboratory study found that vapor-deposited cis-decalin and cis/trans-decalin glasses could be more stable than corresponding liquid-cooled glasses under specific deposition conditions, while pure trans-decalin did not yield a stable vapor-deposited glass.

A laboratory comparison in one lightly crosslinked PMMA glass found that probe-based mobility changed far more than a mechanical measure before yield, while the two measures tracked each other after yield.

A bulk organic crystal showed an intermediate-resistance state under applied current, and nuclear magnetic resonance measurements supported the coexistence of metallic and insulating regions. The sample’s average temperature stayed nearly fixed near its 79-kelvin transition while the power associated with the state rose as ambient temperature fell.
