At the University of Houston, our program on glasses and liquids has continued with emphasis on melanin; vitreous TiO{sub 2}; metallic glasses/quasicrystals, including the computer modelling of quasicrystals via icosahedral glass models; and the structure of C{sup +} ion-beam deposited carbon films. The development of a dedicated glass and liquid diffractometer (GLAD) at the Argonne IPNS, under the direction of Dr. David L. Price, has entered the prototype stage. We are now quite close to a fully operating facility and commissioning should take place in the Spring 1990 with beam time available for participating scientists, on state-of-the-art experiments, shortly thereafter.
