Researchers at the University of Bayreuth in Germany have made a breakthrough in glass technology, developing an aluminosilicate glass that is significantly harder to break than conventional glass materials. The team combined common oxide glass with aluminosilicate, a compound made up of silicon, aluminum, boron, and oxygen, to create this innovative material. To develop the glass, the researchers subjected it to high pressure and temperature, resulting in a paracrystalline structure that is more ordered than regular glass but not as precise as a true crystal structure. This unique structure gives the glass a fracture strength of 1.99 megapascals, a remarkable…
