Scientists from McGill University develop stronger and tougher glass, inspired by the inner layer of mollusk shells. Instead of shattering upon impact, the new material has the resiliency of plastic ...
A new type of glass created by mimicking the nacre (or mother-of-pearl) structure in mollusc shells is ductile yet tough and highly resistant to impacts. The material could come in useful for ...
