Abstract
Abstract Over the last 50 years, there have been remarkable advances in the field of metallic glasses: the range of compositions, techniques for production and shaping, sample sizes, and uncovering of property combinations offering unparalleled performance. Research continues to reveal fundamental insights relevant for the structure and properties of glasses and liquids generally. This article focuses on the latest advances in understanding and on the rapidly widening prospects for applications beyond those already established. Graphical abstract
