Chalcogenide glass is widely used today in a number of specialist optics applications. Recent experiments with adding silver to the glass-forming materials that make chalcogenide glass have revealed ...

Glasses are not stoichiometric compounds but variable mixtures of substances, some of which can independently form glasses while others cannot. This variability allows for a vast range of compositions ...

Researchers explain the distinctive low-temperature thermal properties of glasses using molecular dynamics simulations. By focusing on string-like defects, they were able to create a unified ...

The best way to understand glass is to understand how it is made. The first step to make glass requires heating up a mixture of minerals – often soda ash, limestone and quartz sand – until they melt ...

Your support goes further this holiday season. When you buy an annual membership or give a one-time contribution, we’ll give a membership to someone who can’t afford access. It’s a simple way for you ...

A European group of scientists has created a novel hydrophobic antireflective (AR) coating for the cover glass of PV modules. The double-layer coating uses a silica-titania (SiO2-TiO2) thin film as ...

We had the opportunity to speak with Dan Orr, who is the product line manager and strategy director for Corning Gorilla Glass. We asked about the 7i glass that was announced today, but also overall ...
