Glass processing has evolved into one of the most demanding fields in precision manufacturing, with components measured in ...

A badly damaged Toyota Prius. Designed for safety during powerful collisions, tempered window glass breaks apart into tiny, rounded pieces, while laminated windshield glass cracks but remains in the ...

Typical additive manufacturing processes for glass require polymer mixtures that must be burned away with heat once the desired shapes are formed. The Georgia Tech team's approach uses a photoresin ...

Sol-gel manufacturing can be used to create various high-performance solids including glasses and ceramics. In the field of glass production, sol-gel techniques are a reliable low-temperature ...

Controlled pore glass (CPG) is a high silica glass that includes pores with a particular size distribution. Porous glasses can be fabricated into a wide variety of geometric forms (such as beads, frit ...

The chip industry is racing to develop glass for advanced packaging, setting the stage for one of the biggest shifts in chip materials in decades — and one that will introduce a broad new set of ...

Researchers have developed a new way to 3D-print glass microstructures that is faster and produces objects with higher optical quality, design flexibility and strength. Researchers at UC Berkeley have ...

At some point in our lives, we have dropped a drinking glass or knocked over a glass-blown knickknack, only to watch it hit the floor and shatter into pieces. We learn from any early age that glass is ...
