Abstract
Methods of making a product of glass or other amorphous material by processing a liquid in an environment with a gravity acceleration less than the normal gravity acceleration on Earth. Methods of forming glass at different gravity levels control the distribution of second phases, such as bubbles, voids or additional glassy phases of similar or different composition.
