Breakthrough: Scientists Develop Unbreakable Glass
Scientists have developed a new type of oxide glass with unprecedented toughness by utilizing paracrystallization, a process that creates crystal-like structures within the glass. Under high pressures and temperatures, the aluminosilicate glass was transformed into a paracrystalline state, which significantly increased its resistance to stress and damage. The resulting glass exhibited a toughness never before measured for oxide glasses, while maintaining its transparency. This breakthrough could lead to the development of more durable and damage-resistant glass products in various industries.
