If you freeze any liquid posthaste enough,even liquid metal, it becomes a glass. Vitrified metals, and metallic glasses,are at the frontier of materials science research. They have been made by rapidly cooling alloys of various metals including, zirconium, and palladium,iron, titanium, or copper,and magnesium, and used for a variety of applications from making golf clubs to aerospace construction. But much approximately them remains poorly understood.
