About

Dr. Lijian Song is a leading figure in the field of metallic glasses, a class of materials that uniquely blend the disordered atomic structure of liquids with the strength and conductivity of metals. His most influential contribution is the landmark "Metallic glass roadmap" (2025), which has already garnered 13 citations, providing a comprehensive guide for the scientific community on the future directions of this transformative material. Dr. Song’s work focuses on unraveling the fundamental physics behind glass formation and developing strategies to overcome the brittleness that has historically limited their practical use. By bridging the gap between theoretical understanding and industrial application, his research has opened new pathways for creating tougher, more processable metallic glasses. His achievements are pivotal for advancing next-generation technologies, from high-performance sporting goods to micro-electromechanical systems. For students and researchers, Dr. Song’s roadmap is an essential starting point for understanding both the current challenges and the immense potential of metallic glasses in materials science.
