1. A method of making a consolidated metallic glass structure, the method comprising:
fabricating metallic glass nanoparticles with a solution-phase synthesis that provides coated metallic glass nanoparticles wrapped in a polymer ligand layer;
stripping the polymer ligand layer from the coated metallic glass nanoparticles with a solvent to provide bare metallic glass nanoparticles;
depositing the bare metallic glass nanoparticles on a substrate to provide a deposited structure;
sintering the deposited structure with heat and/or pressure to provide the consolidated metallic glass structure.
