Oxide glasses are an integral part of the modern world, but their usefulness can be limited by their characteristic brittleness at room temperature. Megan Cordill et al. show that amorphous aluminum oxide can permanently deform without fracture at room temperature and high strain rate by a viscous creep mechanism. These…

The Greek physician Galen of Pergamon (ca. AD 129 – 200/216) is arguably the most accomplished of all medical researchers of antiquity. The sixth century Syriac translation of his famous work On Simple Drugs was later erased and obscured when the parchment was reused for monastic writings. We have used…
