Searching for the "Perfect Glass"

Date- 17th Aug 11 Source- http://carnegiescience.edu/multimedia_content

'Glasses differ from crystals. Crystals are organized in repeating patterns that extend in every direction. Glasses lack this strict organization, but do sometimes demonstrate order among neighboring atoms. New research from Carnegie's Geophysical Laboratory reveals the possibility of creating a metallic glass that is organized on a larger scale.'

Forge glass outside of an atmosphere and the microscopic air pockets that makes glass brittle on earth will be virtually non-existent.
