Metallic glass yields secrets under pressure

Metallic glass yields secrets under pressure: "ScienceDaily (Mar. 17, 2010) — Metallic glasses are emerging as potentially useful materials at the frontier of materials science research. They combine the advantages and avoid many of the problems of normal metals and glasses, two classes of materials with a very wide range of applications. For example, metallic glasses are less brittle than ordinary glasses and more resilient than conventional metals."
