| Title: |
Polycrystalline materials; Metal; Glass |
| Description: |
Between a polycrystalline material's grains (saffron layers) exist disorderly areas called grain boundaries, the behavior of which has been difficult to understand. The green and blue objects in the boundary are string-like collections of atoms that NIST scientists have recently shown behave like glass-forming liquids, a similarity that should help scientists analyze a wide range of materials.
