Flat glass is boring. All the fanciest Android phones sport curved glass displays. Not to be left out of the display-warping ways, Apple has patented its own glass-bending process. Apple's patent ...

Ordinarily, if a window goes around the corner of a building, it's made of two flat panes of glass that are joined together by a metal rail or glue. Now, though, German scientists have developed a ...

The ability to bend sheets of glass into angular corners without damaging the sheet or impairing the optical properties is attractive in architecture, industrial design and medical technology.

A new technique makes it possible to bend sheet glass into complex or unconventional shapes with the help of laser beams. This opens up a whole new range of potential products for architects and ...

Researchers take advantage of glass property of becoming malleable when exposed to high temperatures. Bend it: prototype sheet glass with tiny radii, produced by laser-based forming. A new laser-based ...

Scientists have successfully taken inspiration from the mechanics of natural structures like seashells in order to significantly increase the toughness of glass. Normally when you drop a drinking ...
