This article focuses on amorphous matters and reviews recent advances in amorphous materials and physics. More
recently, more than 30% of the lunar soil collected by China's Chang 'e-5 mission was found to be glassy, further confirming the
widespread existence of amorphous matter in the universe. Topological order and inhomogeneity may be hidden behind the
seemingly chaotic structure of amorphous materials, so amorphous matters have strange genetic, sensitive and relaxation
behaviors, and show a series of excellent physical and chemical properties, such as extreme stability, super-plasticity, super
mechanical behavior and excellent soft magnetic properties. The new generation of Zr-based and Fe-based amorphous alloys
developed based on order regulation and high flux technology are successfully applied to core components such as folding mobile
phone hinges and new energy vehicle motors, indicating that amorphous matters have irreplaceable application advantages. The
future development of amorphous matters should focus on introducing a new paradigm of material research, attaching importance
to the importance of process innovation, promoting the cross-integration of multi-disciplinary fields, giving full play to the
advantages of advanced characterization technology and large scientific devices, and creating a whole-chain innovation model for
production, university and research, so as to actively promote the rapid development of amorphous materials and physics, and
expand the application of amorphous matters in high-tech fields. Make the future of mankind a better place.
