Taking a cue from nacre in the inner layers of mollusk shells, scientists have created the toughest and strongest glass ever, a new study shows.
Here's how to quench your thirst in an environmentally responsible way.
More than 2.5 million glass table injuries are reported each year. New research gauges the scope of the problem and indicates a solution.
Rather than having skyscraper windows reflect light and waste energy, transparent solar cells could turn them into power sources for buildings.
Special filters can help people with color blindness see more color. And those changes remain even after they take the glasses off.
A new spray made with a type of volcanic glass shows promise in killing mosquitoes. That could help stop the spread of malaria.
A new experiment let researchers capture the midpoint in glass's transition from liquid to solid at 60,000 frames per second.
A new way to predict the density and stiffness of glasses could offer better reinforcing fibers for composite materials in automobiles and wind turbines.
A new gyroscope, so small it can fit on the tip of your finger, could help drones and driverless cars stay on track without a GPS signal.
