Chemically strengthened ion‐exchanged glasses owe their enhanced durability to a well‐controlled process in which small mobile ions in the glass are replaced by larger ions from a molten salt bath.

Chemically toughened glass already keeps cell phone screens (mostly) crack-free, and now this type of glass is starting to make its mark in the auto industry in car windshields. According to an ...

Corning has been refining its chemically strengthened glass for decades. They began developing this so-called “muscled glass” in 1960 and have been working hard ever since to bring toughened glass to ...

You might not know Gorilla Glass by name, but odds are pretty good you own at least one device sporting Corning’s chemically strengthened glass composite. It’s been a ubiquitous feature of consumer ...

Glassmaker Corning just unveiled its newest version of Gorilla Glass, the chemically strengthened super glass that dozens of consumer electronics makers use in their devices. Called Gorilla Glass 5, ...

We like drinking out of glass. In many ways, it’s an ideal material for the job. It’s hard-wearing, and inert in most respects. It doesn’t interact with the beverages you put in it, and it’s easy to ...

In the middle of the twentieth century, Soviet and East German engineers quietly pushed glass far beyond the fragile material most people know from windows and wine glasses. Their experiments produced ...
