Abstract: Molten glass is made viscous by oxygen atoms that form bridges between silicon or aluminium. Non-bridging oxygens make for a runnier melt, affecting, for example, the rate of mixing of melt batches in industrial glass making, and the explosiveness of volcanic magmas. Now non-bridging oxygens have been discovered in an aluminosilicate that, by conventional theory, should not have them.
