Re: A new type of material

Thanks for the interesting link, William. When I read the headline I immediately thought of the ‘glassy metal’ that was shown to me about forty years ago.

What was that, please?

Re: A new type of material

Unlike ordinary metals, amorphous or ‘glassy’ metals have a glass-like structure instead of a crystalline structure in their solid state. However, unlike ordinary glass they have good electrical conductivity.

Re: A new type of material

William, could you please post a useful link?
This link to the "Independent" paper website only allows me a taster headline.

Re: A new type of material

I only got a taster just now, too, but when I reloaded the page I could read the whole thing.

If you still can’t see it all, try this link.

Re: A new type of material

There’s a preprint version of the published paper here:

Re: A new type of material

When I saw Jacks comment I checked and it worked fine for me, but when I tried again later, I got the blocked version.
