3D Atomic Imaging Helps Observe Metallic Glass Structure
Written by AZoNanoApr 1 2021
Amorphous solids, which also include rubber, glass and plastics, are a class of matter. But despite their routine applications in people’s
day-to-day lives, amorphous solids have traditionally presented a challenge to researchers.
