“Metallic Glass” opens a new field in materials science Development of new light-weight, high-strength materials Prof. Inoue developed "metallic glass" having excellent mechanical properties, e.g., high tensile strength and large elastic strains, and he is currently a leader of worldwide researchers in materials science. It has been generally known that, when solid lacks a systematic atomic arrangement, that is, when it is in an amorphous state, its strength and corrosion resistance are enhanced. People had believed, to make an amorphous alloy, the rapid cooling of the molten alloys is required and thus it is quite difficult to obtain amorphous alloys in bulk. Contrary to this widely conceived belief, Prof. Inoue succeeded, for the first time in the world, in developing metallic glass which...
