TL;DR Summary

Researchers at Penn State University have developed a new form of glass called LionGlass, which is 10 times more resistant to cracking than conventional glass. LionGlass also consumes 30% less energy during production and releases half the carbon pollution. The glass has a lower melting temperature, reducing energy consumption and carbon emissions. The researchers are seeking a patent for a family of glasses with different compositions that could have various applications. However, limitations such as high-temperature sensitivity may prevent its use in smartphone screens.
