[TheForge] amorphous steel

[Andy Vida]

Oh, OK... I didn't gather that from the article.  It seemed to imply
that the addition of Yttrium was the key to its properties.  Perhaps
the Yttrium only enabled to amorphous structure to arise with some
very sophisticated heat treatment, but I didn't get this impression
from the author.

There's a brand new talk, but it's not very clear,
That people from good homes are talking this year.
It's loud and it's tasteless, I've not heard it before.
They shout it while they're dancing from the dance floor.
