Rubbish article, Amorphous metal was here from 1960. No practical applications. Stop publishing rubbish, google it first.

How is this different than \"Liquidmetal\"?

I think the big difference is that this alloy can be handled. Previous amorphous metals could only be created in ribbons by quick quenching molten metal keeping the metal crystals from forming. That limited their application to a few things like transformer windings. This alloy has huge potential, as the article describes because it can be quickly and easily formed into it\'s final shape, like glass bottles are now.

Vladamir, this is not the metal from the 1960\'s. Read the original article and get off your high horse.

I wonder about dental amalgams. These new materials are interesting.

No practical applications, Vladimir? Thta\'s what WW1 generals said about the aeorplane...

Can we use injection molding machines? How about plastic = metal composite parts? And what of the metallic properties of the blow-molded metallic glass?

No more cheap plastic that barely works. I hope the power tool guys get right on this

perhaps we could use this metal in bike tubes... i\'m sick of having punctures
