A Clearer View of What Makes Glass Rigid
Scientists led by the Institute of Industrial Science at the University of Tokyo used computer simulations to better understand the mechanical transition in glassy materials. They found that a system-wide network provides the backbone that gives glass its strength. This work may lead to advances in the production of stronger glass for smartphones and other applications.
