It means that the R&D of BMGs is alive and well throughout the majore centers of the world: USA, Japan, Korea, China, India, Germany, Austria, Sweden, Turkey.
What is ironic is the fact that Caltech, the principal originator of studies of BMG has shut down the department of BMG's, whereas all of the students of Dr. Johnson: Jan Schroers, Doug Hoffman, Atakan Peker, Ralf Busch, Mo Li, Paul Kim, and many more have marched on to new heights in this research.
Having a healthy and funded R&D bodes very well for the future.
