"Sheng, the lead author of the journal article, believes these discoveries will lead to significant advances in the understanding of metallic glass. 'Our findings,' he said, 'should allow the people who make metallic glass to move closer to intelligent design techniques, developing materials with the precise mechanical characteristics needed for specific products. The discoveries also advance our understanding of materials science in general.' "
