But if the motor was made from a special kind of material known as an amorphous metal, your fingers would be spared. The atoms in such metals are randomly arranged — imparting them with unique ...

The first X-ray strain measurements in amorphous metals allow for new understanding of complex glassy materials. Amorphous materials such as glass fibres and bulk metallic glasses are widely used ...

including difficult-to-synthesize ultra-thin amorphous metal oxides such as aluminum and rhodium. This breakthrough, ...

A new carbon material known as monolayer amorphous carbon (MAC) however, is both strong and tough. In fact, MAC—which was recently synthesized by the group of Barbaros Özyilmaz at the National ...
