"The first samples of this new metallic glass were relatively small glass
rods just a millimeter in diameter. When Cal Tech researchers added silver
to the microalloy mix, they were able to expand the thickness of the glass
rods to six millimeters. This metallic glass needs to be rapidly cooled
for the final structure, which limits how large the samples can be."

It looks like we won't be ordering this from Speedy Metals for a time yet.
Sorta like transparent aluminum, eh?


Gues what, transparent aluminum now exists. NOT available from Speedy metals
either. Also shelf life is very short, about 40 femtoseconds.
