Metallic glass stability can be determined by the second-nearest neighboring atoms, according to a recent study led by University of Michigan Mechanical Engineering PhD student Muchen Wang and Associate Professor Yue Fan.

Understanding how the atomic structure of metallic glass affects material properties can help researchers discover new, less costly metallic glasses for broader use.

ICYMI: For the first time, a stem cell model has produced a structure similar to an early human embryo with a yolk-sac-like structure from a single starting stem cell population, without direct genetic manipulation. The development could help shed light on early pregnancy loss by answering questions surrounding early human embryonic development.

Stem cell models that resemble the early weeks of human pregnancy are being developed to better understand human development. However, the structures are imperfect models — incapable of developing beyond small colonies of cells — with similarities to human embryos peaking at day 8 of the cell culture.
