Metal turned to glass | Nature

网站介绍:In order to form a glass by cooling a liquid, the normal process of solid crystallization must be bypassed. Achieving that for a pure metal had seemed impossible — until pressure was applied to liquid germanium. Glasses come in many forms. For the specific case of metallic glasses, multiple components are usually required to avoid crystallization during normal liquid cooling. (The one notable exception is the two-component metallic glass Zr50Cu50.) Now Bhat et al. have made use of recent t
