The structural study of glassy materials remains still a challenging scientific topic owing to the lack of distinct translational periodicity. However, a combination of the advent of quantum (synchrotron X-ray/neutron) beam instrumentation and data-driven structural modelling assisted by advanced computational/mathematical techniques enables us to probe the order within disorder in glassy materials. In particular, it is possible to reveal the structure beyond the nearest-neighbour distance by structural modelling. In this article, we focus on structural studies of oxide glasses and liquids by quantum beam diffraction and data-driven structural modelling.
