A glass is something that underwent a glass transition (that looks like a liquid at the atomic scale but behaves like a solid microscopically, resulting from cooling a liquid too fast to let it crystallise). It can be made of a huge diversity of things: pure elements (like carbon or sulphur), some metallic alloys, oxides, sulphides, fluorides, polymers, etc.
