No one would believe that glass can be stronger and tougher than steel, if they hadn’t seen the new type of damage-tolerant metallic glass collaborated by Berkeley Lab and the California Institute of Technology.

The metallic glass contains palladium, a material that helps the glass to bend rather than crack in response to the external force. That outstanding feature not only enlarges glass’ scope of application, but will ensure people a safety use of glass.
