Super-cooled liquid

A material which, in its solid form, maintains the amorphous physical structure of a liquid rather than the ordered structure of a crystalline material. A crystalline material softens or solidifies at a specific freezing point, while a super-cooled liquid like glass remains amorphous, softening or solidifying gradually over a broad temperature range.
