Bulk metallic glass has no crystalline structure, and many kinds of metallic glasses are stronger than their crystalline cousins. But until now they have exhibited poor fatigue resistance -- in other ...

Engineers have generated a bulk metal glass that is unusually strong and shock resistant. Engineers have created a new material with an unusual chemical structure that makes it incredibly hard and yet ...

Making a new material is one thing, explaining how you did it is another. Materials engineering Ph.D. candidate Jerry Howard excels at both. Howard developed a new “recipe” for making metallic glass ...

DURHAM, N.C. -- Researchers have discovered a way to predict which alloys will form metallic glasses. The research could pave the way for new strong, conductive materials. Metallic glasses are ...

Bulk metallic glasses (BMGs) are artificial materials that boast superior strength and hardness to conventional metals due to a jumbled arrangement at the atomic level. By tweaking this recipe just a ...

Engineers have created a new material with an unusual chemical structure that makes it incredibly hard and yet elastic. The material can withstand heavy impacts without deforming - even when pushed ...
