摘　　要：Amorphous materials,as indicated by the name,lack long-range crystalline order in their atomic arrangements.Amorphous materials are ubiquitous in nature and our daily life;examples include glasses,colloidal suspensions,granular matter,polymers,active matter and various biomaterials.However,our understanding of such systems lags significantly behind their ordered,crystalline counterparts.As a consequence,the study of amorphous materials is emerging as an exciting branch of modern physics.The essence of research in this field is evidenced by two recent events:the receipt of the 2021 Nobel Prize in physics by Giorgio Parisi for his groundbreaking contributions to the theory of disordered systems,in particular,spin glasses,and the celebration of the year 2022 as the International Year of Glass by United Nations.
