Metallic glass to be tested on the ISS

Caption

The research team led by materials scientist Ralf Busch from Saarland University will remotely study metallic-glass alloys in experiments carried out on board the International Space Station, ISS. The team will investigate the properties of these alloys using hot, levitating droplets. The picture shows Ralf Busch (standing) and doctoral researcher Lucas Eisenhut beside the apparatus used to melt and homogenize the constituent elements of metallic-glass alloys. The alloys for the ISS experiments were also produced here.
