Well, when engineers invent… metallic glass, also known as amorphous metal.

当工程师发明玻璃合金的时候，也成为非晶金属的时候。

The first metallic glass was made in 1960 from gold and silicon.

【加州理工学院】 金属玻璃最初是由金子和硅在1960年做出来的。

In essence, they have to do with metallic glass' unique atomic structure.

从本质上来看，这些都归根于它奇特的分子结构。

The sticker part of the system contains a tiny sliver of metallic glass.

贴纸部分的系统包含一个金属玻璃棉条。

Metallic glasses look shiny and opaque, like metals, and also like metals, they conduct heat and electricity.

金属玻璃看着像金属一样闪闪发光，并且不透明，同时还可以像金属一样导热和导电。

Well, a lot of scientists and technologists are getting excited about a relatively recent invention called metallic glass with both of those properties, and more.

因此，很多科学家和技术人员都为一个新发明而感到兴奋－－金属玻璃，它同时拥有这两个优点！

Metallic glasses also have an incredible ability to store and release elastic energy, which makes them perfect for sports equipment, like tennis racquets, golf clubs, and skis.

金属玻璃还有一个超牛的本领它可以储备并且释放弹性势能，这个优点让它们成为制造体育用品优越的材料。比如网球拍、高尔夫球杆，和雪杖。

So, metallic glasses form when metal atoms are in this random arrangement, like when melted metal is cooled really, really quickly, before its particles can arrange themselves into a crystal.

所以，当金属原子随机排列时，合金玻璃就产生了，就像融化的金属，冷却地非常快，例子来不及排列成晶体。
