On Wednesday I tried to define a #metamaterial.
Now it's time to define #metals, which should be way easier, right?
Spoiler: even in a #metallurgy group @LNM_eth, not everyone agrees!

First a list of "high-school science" definitions that don't really help us. The
"Metals are reflective": Yes but not all reflective things are metals. Not definition friendly.
"Metals are reflective": Yes but not all reflective things are metals. Not definition friendly.
"Metals are ductile and malleable, easy to work with": Not necessarily. Good luck working with Tungsten, which is definitely metal.
This article tells a bit about how hard making the Tungsten filaments that we used on lights was!

THREAD: Following the #CAA2020 I would like to share the slides and Q&A from the #publishing session, how to get published and read, last Friday with @ivittieditor and @Arts_Routledge
@ivittieditor @Arts_Routledge There are so many journals! Tip: find the journal first before writing. Are you writing for a large generalist audience or would you have greater impact in a more niche pub? Find out about themed issues. Consider what is needed for you: publisher? readers?
@ivittieditor @Arts_Routledge recent authors? online only publications? metrics like Impact Factor or indexing services? type of peer review? submission process and avg length of time? Open Access? Who is the editor? Who is on the editorial board? Who are recent authors?
