Unbreakable Glass a Reality?
Friday, January 14, 2011 at 08:20PM Tweet
Advancements on previous research have led to a new glass that may be stronger than any known material.
Potential uses abound, especially within a design context, for such a material:
By making the glass able to bend, it can't even develop a crack to lead it to eventually shatter. In the process, they have created a new kind of a glass that is stronger and tougher than any material known. Potentially, a solar roof protected within a glass that's stronger than steel would need a great deal less roofing infrastructure to hold it up, reducing both solar (and roofing) prices. The research was funded by the Department of Energy and the National Science Foundation.
