Los Alamos pressure process makes pure zirconium glass

Researchers at Los Alamos National Laboratory have successfully formed pure zirconium metal into glass at temperatures one-third of its melting point and pressures over 50,000 times atmospheric pressure. This breakthrough could lead to the development of stronger materials for various applications.

Metallic Glass: Material Of The Future?

Researchers at Johns Hopkins University are creating new metallic glasses with superior strength, elasticity, and magnetic properties. These materials can be molded into a final shape and exhibit distinct mechanical and magnetic properties due to their random atomic structure.
