Physicists detect elusive 'Bragg glass' phase with machine learning tool

Cornell quantum researchers have detected an elusive phase of matter‚ called the Bragg glass phase‚ using large volumes of X-ray data and a new machine learning data analysis tool. The discovery settles a long-standing question of whether this almost–but not quite–ordered state of Bragg glass can exist in real materials.
