Metallic glass, a class of materials that offers both pliability and strength, is poised for a friendly takeover of the chemical landscape. Yale University engineers have found a unique method for ...

Metallic glass alloys are ultra-strong materials that, when heated, become as malleable as putty. They have a huge range of uses, but finding out which are best has ...

As anyone who lives too close to a baseball field knows, glass can be frustratingly fragile. Subscribe to read this story ad-free Get unlimited access to ad-free articles and exclusive content. But a ...

Glass is strong enough for so much: windshields, buildings and many other things that need to handle high stress without breaking. But scientists wholook at the structure of glass strictly by the ...

A tension-induced transformation converts a malleable crystal–glass composite into an extremely tough alloy Making metallic glasses less brittle at room temperature could allow their use as strong, ...

A new breakthrough in the manufacturing of so called metallic glass, a material that is stronger than steel and titanium, could lead to a new generation of super-tough cell-phone cases and airplane ...

Celebrating 60 years of progress in 2020, metallic glass technologies are widely used today in healthcare, biotechnology, manufacturing and aerospace industries as the material combines the strength, ...

A new study has cracked one mystery of glass to shed light on the mechanism that triggers its deformation before shattering. Glass hangs in a metastable state in which the energy of the system is ...

At NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory, scientists are building a better gear. Specifically, they are developing gears made from bulk metallic glass (BMG), a specially crafted alloy with properties that ...

Metallic glasses are very strong and elastic materials that appear with the naked eye to be identical to stainless steel. But metallic glasses differ from ordinary metals in that they are amorphous, ...

Structural metals are everywhere and, being a widely used commodity, new developments are often constrained by practical considerations like large-scale production and price. In an age where ...
