I assume it's because there's only so much of that heat that the globs could radiate into space as (infrared) light.

Maybe someone familiar with the intimate details of blackbody radiation could chime in here?

That was the previous idea, but this work changes that. It implies that the cooling rates of meteors is actually much faster than previously guessed.

This is exciting stuff for MatSci people. There are likely other interesting materials that could be made using this process, including the other alloys found in iron bearing meteorites. I expect that the process can be modified and extended.

FWIW, iron reduced in hydrogen is known to have a very high magnetic permeability, surpassed only by one of the Metglas alloys.

Okay, three questions, if you'll humor me: What LISP resources particular to AutoCAD would you recommend, what are your favorite scripts, and for context what do you do / use AutoCAD for?

Update: I found a solution to a particular problem, representing twisted pairs with bends in a cable without the hassle of sloppy line thickness settings, or making sure every bounding area is perfectly joined and closed for hatch fill: to do it in Solidworks instead ('fit spline' FTW!) and export to dwg... lol
