Breaking local symmetry—why water freezes but silica forms a glass

Everyone knows that water freezes at 0 degrees C. Life on Earth would be vastly different if this were not so. However, water
Everyone knows that water freezes at 0 degrees C. Life on Earth would be vastly different if this were not so. However, water's cousin, silica, exhibits wayward behavior when cooled that has long puzzled scientists.
