I'm familiar with the article from the actual magazine, and i'd say "yes" as a partially educated layman ;)

They just gotta get the cost down....

Here's the correct link:

There was no ".com" in the original

A couple of month ago i heard that NASA was playing with similar materials. And it's not amorphes metals it's metal glass: a mixture of NaF, ZnF2 and another flouride(i don't recall) found in an amorpheus state(just as ordinary glass). This new breed of material is said to revolutionise the fiber optics industry, allowing more wavelengths to pass through than ordinary glass. It is also quite flexible. Please correct me if i'm wrong. :)

What the heck is yttrium.
Sorry

[SEF]

What the heck is yttrium.
Yttrium is just another element: atomic number 39, stable isotope 89.

[bleubird]

Not just another element.Yttrium and other large elements make glassy metals possible.
Amorphous metals are the future.
