    <title language="eng">Nanoindentation reveals universal scaling of pop-in plasticity in metallic glasses</title>
    <abstract language="eng">Plastic flow of metallic glasses proceeds intermittently in the inhomogeneous deformation regime. Mediated via shear bands, quasi-static straining gives rise to plastic instabilities that are measured as abrupt displacement bursts or pop-ins. The latter is a well-known feature in nanoindentation, where its first occurrence probes the critical and site-specific stress of nano-scale incipient shear deformation. Here we show that the statistical distribution of the stress and magnitude of the first shear instability, as well as its successive higher-order events, universally follow Weibull statistics across ten different metallic glasses. This indicates a fundamentally identical plastic process across glass-forming alloys and progressing deformation that is governed by a weakest-link phenomenon. This finding stands in strong contrast to crystalline alloys, where both defect nucleation and defect-structure evolution control shear instabilities and depend on the deformation history.</abstract>
