RIT Glass sees much interconnectedness across campus, and is taking full advantage of the inimitable landscape. With a strong intersection of technology, art and design at RIT, assistant professor ...

A class of glass that cannot crystallize, even given infinite time, is forcing physicists to rethink some of the oldest assumptions about how disordered materials behave. Built from theoretical models ...

The University of San Francisco’s new John Lo Schiavo Center for Science and Innovation (CSI) brings science to the forefront of academic life. Its glossy, three-story exterior invites students into ...

Researchers tested biodegradable glass beads in the lab, in soil, and even in mice to see how the materials broke down over time. Reading time 2 minutes Glass can be cleaned and reused many times, but ...

Researchers aiming to combat rising global temperatures have developed a new 'cooling glass' that can turn down the heat indoors without electricity by drawing on the cold depths of space. The new ...

A team at Microsoft Research combined lasers, machine learning and tiny glass rectangles to demonstrate a new robotic data storage system that could, in theory, still be readable 10,000 years from now ...

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 ...
