A new metallic glass, which was created by vapour deposition at an appropriately high substrate temperature, shows exceptional thermal stability, and enhanced glass transition temperature elastic modulus. Comparing this material with other organic glasses prepared similar routes known as ultrastable demonstrates the formation of glassy materials correlates to important concept fragility.
