This session aims to present and discuss the recent developments in both fundamental and applied research in chalcogenide, halide, metallic, phosphate, molecular glasses, metal-organic framework glasses as well as in mixed oxy-sulfide and oxy-nitride networks. Topics of interest include structural characterization, structure-property relationship, novel processing methods, compositional trends, and advances in physical properties such as optical, thermal, electrical, and mechanical behaviors.

Technological applications of these glasses and glass-ceramics will be covered, including the field of energy, sensing, optics, biomedical, phase change materials, and microelectronics.
