Shoot. I was hoping for transparent metals so I could have a greenhouse that wouldn’t be affected by ultraviolet light and be extrremely strong. These things aren’t transparent.

Makes you wonder about potential applications, depending on cost effectiveness in replacing plastics:

1. Automobile body
2. Doors, interior and/or exterior
3. Other housing construction materials for, say, walls and floors.
4. Guns
5. Countertops
6. Bars and tables
7. etc.

Wonder Woman’s plane was made out of transparent metallic glass several decades ahead of this.

Just like Dick Tracy’s wrist radio foreshadowed the small cell phones we use today.

And you don’t even want to go to the old Buck Rogers stuff.

Cartoons Rule!

Thanks decimon. At least some of the metallic glasses also have lower resistance than their parent metals.
