How did they go about characterizing the glass?<BR/><BR/>Back in 2004 there was a paper, also in Nature, on the synthesis of elemental zirconium in glassy form. The paper, though, was subsequently retracted by the authors, citing newer observations using an angular-dispersive method and imaging-plate detector, together with X-ray-transparent anvils. <BR/><BR/>The original paper was: Nature 430, 332-335 (15 July 2004). The retraction was in 2005: Nature 437, 1057 (13 October 2005)Pratik .https://www.blogger.com/profile/16256614681825595819noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9818962.post-57684642857135626032007-09-04T04:29:00.000+05:302007-09-04T04:29:00.000+05:30Metallurgy is back in a sort of way!

I was getting tired of hearing all those paeans sung to carbon fiber and polymers!<BR/><BR/>Germanium based polymers too have some interesting properties, right?<BR/><BR/>Can these 'metallic glass' blocks be doped?trutihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06313354254836558451noreply@blogger.com
